Brixen Dolomiten Marathon

The Mountain Marathon begins at the Cathedral Square in Brixen (560m) and finishes at the Plose, the local mountain of Brixen (2.450m). Along the route, runners will travel through forests and meadows, and in some sections, on asphalt roads. The first change of the relay 4x4 is at the valley station of the Plose cable car, followed by a hike and a forest trail to Afers (1.504m), the second change area for the relay 4x4 and the unique one of the relay 2x2. The breathtaking views of the Peitler Mountain and the Dolomites in the background will be a great reward for the runners. The route then continues on asphalt roads and forest trails to Kreuztal (2.050m), the third change area for the relay 4x4. The final 3.2km with a 400m altitude gain will bring runners to the Ochsenalm. The 360° panoramic view at the finish will certainly make runners forget the difficulty of the marathon. This double challenge of the 2.450 meters of altitude between Brixen and the Plose is a true test of running to the limits! The marathon has a total length of 42.195 km, a positive elevation of 2.450m, and a time limit of 8 hours.
