About Lavaredo Ultra Trail

La Sportiva Lavaredo Ultra Trail by UTMB is one of the most prestigious trail running races in Italy and a stage of the UTMB World Series circuit. Five distances โ€” from 10K to 120K with 5800 meters of elevation gain โ€” cross the most spectacular scenery of the Dolomites, between Auronzo di Cadore, Misurina, and Cortina d'Ampezzo. The queen, the 80K, is the only race of the event not to start from Cortina: it kicks off from Val Marzon, in Auronzo, to finish in the center of Cortina after 4600 meters of positive elevation gain.

Trail running in the realm of the Dolomites

The Lavaredo Ultra Trail is an international event that draws thousands of trail runners from all over the world to the Belluno Dolomites. As part of the prestigious UTMB World Series circuit, the event takes place between Auronzo di Cadore, Misurina, and Cortina d'Ampezzo, crossing high-altitude trails at the foot of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo.

Five distances for every level

The event offers five routes designed for every level of preparation:

  • Lavaredo 120K (King Race): 120 km and 5800 m of elevation gain, with a captivating night start from Corso Italia in Cortina;
  • Lavaredo 80K: 80 km and 4600 m D+, the only race that starts from Val Marzon in Auronzo to finish in Cortina;
  • Lavaredo 50K: 50 km and 2600 m D+;
  • Lavaredo 20K: 20 km and 1000 m D+;
  • Lavaredo 10K by Night: 10 km and 200 m D+, a night race.

A Kids Race dedicated to the youngest participants completes the program.

A world-renowned event

The start of the 80K from Val Marzon, in the municipality of Auronzo di Cadore in the province of Belluno, is one of the most anticipated moments: runners ascend towards the Tre Cime before heading to Cortina. Being part of the UTMB World Series circuit allows athletes to accumulate the necessary points to qualify for the UTMB in Chamonix, making Lavaredo a decisive stage in the international trail running calendar.
