DoloMyths Run 42K Fassa Trail
Waiting for the main event, the Skyrace, a marathon that tests endurance and determination on a spectacular high altitude route, reaching almost 2500 metres, dominated by the world elite and reserved for the most trained long distance amateurs
On 11 and 12 July, Canazei will become the capital of trail running with the DoloMyths Run! Now in its 28th edition, this legendary race is a milestone in the Golden Trail National Series (GTNS) powered by Salomon, the most prestigious off-road running circuit in Italy. Over 1,300 athletes from around the world will take on the challenge across three distances, all starting from Canazei. The weekend kicks off at 7 a.m. with the DoloMyths Run 42K Fassa Trail, the extended version of the 12K Trail: 42.5 km, 2,240 m of elevation gain, and a 10-hour time limit to reach the finish line.
After the start, runners will set off along a spectacular route: from Canazei to Alba, Penìa and "Pian Trevisan", up to the Austro-Hungarian military mule track, carved into the rock by Russian prisoners during the First World War. Then, passing through "Col de Baranchie", they will tackle the imposing slopes of Marmolada before descending towards the Cima Undici Rifugio and the Fedaia Dam. Skirting the left bank of the lake, they will then climb the historic route leading to Padon Pass. From here, they will take the famous "Viel dal Pan", the ancient path once used by Belluno traders to transport flour to Val di Fassa. Upon reaching the Fredarola Rifugio at Col dei Rossi, they will head towards Pordoi Pass, followed by a long and technical descent to "Pian Schiavaneis" ("Lupo Bianco"). But the challenge is far from over: runners must climb back up the opposite side through the Val Salei, regaining altitude at Col Rodella. From there, just 7 km separate them from the finish line in Canazei’s main square, where the crowd will be waiting to cheer them on for the final, electrifying sprint. In 2025, Giacomo Forconi (3:57:06) and Camilla Rizzarti of Team Salomon Italia (4:53:06) claimed victory. Who will be next to take the crown?
The DoloMyths Run is more than a competition - it is a celebration of passion, determination, and community spirit, values at the heart of Salomon, bringing together athletes, organisers, and trail running enthusiasts. Thanks to impeccable organisation, led by Diego Salvador, and the support of Salomon, the Canazei skyrace has become a global benchmark in the world of trail running. But there’s more: inspirational talks with elite athletes and coaches, a large expo area showcasing the latest innovations, shake-out runs to warm up, live music, tradition, and authentic mountain flavours will make this an unmissable weekend experience. Are you ready to run where the sky meets the Dolomites?
