Brixen Dolomiten Marathon
… the different mountain running experience

The heart of our trail running weekend is still the Brixen Dolomiten Marathon, launched in 2010, which takes you from the Cathedral Square in Brixen/Bressanone (560 m) to the local mountain, the Plose at 2.450 m above sea level.

The route of this mountain marathon leads along forest and meadow paths, in sections also on asphalt roads, to St. Andrä (1.062 m) – here is the valley station of the cable car. Then we continue on forest roads to Afers (1.504 m). With the view to the Peitlerkofel and the Dolomites, the race leads on farm paths into the valley, then turns off on forest and hiking trails to the Rossalm and to Kreuztal/Valcroce (2.050 m) – the mountain station of the cable car. From the hiking trail to Ochsenalm (2.085 m) the view sweeps down to Brixen/Bressanone and the Cathedral Square, the starting point of the race. On the last 3 km there are still 400 vertical meters to overcome.

At the finish, the athletes enjoy a breathtaking 360-degree view of an incredible mountain scenery. A double sports experience: a demanding marathon and a view that makes you forget all your efforts.
