Dolomites Skyrace 2017 - Canazei/Trentino (ITA)
Skyrunning: Trailrunning in the heart of the Dolomites
Dolomites SkyRace 2017
July 2017, Canazei/Trentino (ITA)
This
summer, the Italian mountain region of Trentino is once again the place
to be for the international skyrunnning elite. Thanks to its diverse
landscape with scenic mountains, glaciers, rivers, water streams and
lakes, Trentino is the ideal host for a skyrunnning race.
The
Dolomites Skyrace is one of the most traditional races in this
discipline. It offers two different competitions: first, the Dolomites
Vertical Kilometer, an explosive race for athletes who love coping with
1,000 vertical metres on a 2.5-kilometre course. And on the next day,
the traditional Dolomites Skyrace, which is held for the 20th time. It
provides a 23.5 kilometre course with 12 kilometres uphill and 11.5
kilometres downhill.
