This year, the Val di Sole Marathon will return to Male on 30th August. Boasting some of the best singletrack in the Dolomites, this third edition offers two courses:
Classic course: 35 km – 1500m elevation gain (XCOPTP)
Marathon course: 61 km – 2700m elevation gain (XCM)
New for 2015, the race has reduced registration fee for those who register before the end of April, includes a special downhill time trial from Bolentina to Malè, assistance from Vittoria for tyres and wheels, assistance from Fox for forks, and massage for athletes.
On the Saturday the Mini Val di Sole Marathon will run, a non-competitive race for kids (from 4 to 12 years old) at the playground in Malè.
In 2014, Sally Bigham won the women’s race at the Val di Sole marathon.
