Maratona dles Dolomites 2024 - Our first marathon This was our first Maratona dles Dolomites 2024, a 138km marathon course with 4,230 meters of elevation gain. Start from La Villa in Val Badia at 6:30 a.m. in the heart of the Dolomites. The first climb was to the Campolongo Pass and then down to Arabba. The climb to the Pordoi Pass, followed by a short descent to the turnoff for Canazei and then the Sella Pass. The descent continued to the turnoff for Selva di Val Gardena, where we pedaled on the Plan de Gralba and then over the Gardena Pass. A long descent to Colfosco and then to Corvara, where we concluded the first part of the race, the Sellaronda circuit, the 4 passes. The Campolongo Pass returned, and after reaching Colle Santa Lucia, we climbed the Giau Pass. The descent to Pocol, then the Falzarego Pass, the Valparola Pass, and the final descent to San Cassiano and La Villa. With less than 5 kilometers to go, the Mür dl Giat climbs steeply, finishing slightly uphill in Corvara in Badia.
