Lavaredo Ultra Trail by UTMB 2026

Lavaredo Ultra Trail by UTMB begins and ends on Corso Italia in Cortina d'Ampezzo. Its primary 120 km race starts at 11 p.m., allowing participants 30 hours to return. The series focuses on mountain running in the Dolomites, offering five distances: 120K, 80K, 50K, 20K, and 10K. The 120K race involves a 5,800-meter climb, and the 80K has 4,600 meters of elevation gain. Even the shorter races are distinctly trail running, not road races. The characteristic image is the night start from Cortina, with runners reaching the Tre Cime di Lavaredo near dawn. The event is for participants over 20, with age groups from 20-34 up to 85+. The 120K is in its nineteenth edition. The required equipment list reflects the environment: a waterproof jacket, warm layers, gloves, a thermal blanket, a whistle, a charged phone, and at least one liter of water. Bib collection is mandatory and personal, and animals are not permitted on the course.
