SUMMARY:Maratona dles Dolomites 2026
DESCRIPTION:Every year the Maratona gran fondo (that’s the Italian for sportive!) gets bigger. \n\n\n\nThe entry ballot for 2026 closed early November. Charity and tour operator places are still available  \n\n\n\nThe intense competition for places is a reflection of the legendary nature of this ride\, which is up there with the Marmotte in terms of toughness and as a test of the amateur rider’s physical and mental strength. \n\n\n\nBilled as a race on (mostly) closed roads\, the Maratona starts and finishes in Corvara\, best known as a winter ski resort. It is a 138km ride with 4\,320 metres of climbing; there are two shorter routes but most people who make the trip all the way out to Italy want to ride the full route. The winner usually finishes in a little under 5 hours but plenty of riders take at least double that. \n\n\n\nThe Maratona route takes in seven major climbs: \n\n\n\n\nPasso Campolongo (length: 5.8km\, average gradient: 6.1%)\n\n\n\nPasso Pordoi (length: 9.2km\, average gradient: 6.9%)\n\n\n\nPasso Sella (length: 5.5km\, average gradient: 7.9%)\n\n\n\nPasso Gardena (length: 5.8km\, average gradient: 4.3%)\n\n\n\nPasso Giau (length: 9.9km\, average gradient: 9.3%)\n\n\n\nPasso Valparola (length: 11.8km\, average gradient: 6.7%)\n\n\n\nMür dl giat (the cat wall) (length: 300m\, average gradient: 13.1%)\n\n\n\n\nA Maratona Village is set up around the event in the town of San Leonardo with a fan zone\, pasta and music\, big screens\, a shuttle service to nearby towns and of course concession stands from leading cycling brands including Pinarello\, Campagnolo\, Mavic and Selle Italia. \n\n\n\nHow to enter \n\n\n\nEntry to the Maratona is by ballot due to the huge demand for places. The registration window typically opens in mid October and closes in early November.  \n\n\n\nThe draw for places will take place in the second half of November with riders informed if they have been lucky enough to get a place from early December.  \n\n\n\nSign up for the Sportive.com newsletter to receive alerts about when entries open and are about to close. \n\n\n\nIf you fail to get in through the lottery draw then you can buy a charity place. \n\n\n\nCheck out the following Maratona related content on Sportive.com: \n\n\n\n\nOli Beckinsale’s 2019 Maratona ride report \n\n\n\nPaul Hunt’s 2018 Maratona ride report (Sellaronda route)\n\n\n\nJim Cotton’s 2017 Maratona ride report\n\n\n\nJoe Saumarez Smith’s 2015 Maratona ride report\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMaratona 138 KM \n\n\n\n\n\nMedio 106 KM \n\n\n\n\n\nSellaronda 55 KM \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Website\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n	Related
