2026 Maratona dles Dolomites With Love Velo

Touch down in Venice. We’ll be waiting to take you to your hotel if you book airport transfer with us. Check in, relax and make full use of the spa. Apperitivos are served tonight in the wine cellar, followed by dinner.

Today is a chance to spin your legs and make sure your bike is running smoothly. Our mechanic will be available to help with any major issues, and you can also collect your registration pack and race number from the organisers’ village.

Our team will lead a 30 km morning warm-up ride, taking you up the Passo Gardena before stopping for a coffee at one of the best coffee stops in the Dolomites. Afterward, we’ll descend back into Corvara, where you’ll have time to enjoy lunch before heading to the registration village to collect your race pack.

If you’d prefer to take it easy, we suggest simply riding the short journey to registration and back.

It’s the day before the race, so we recommend resting your legs and enjoying Corvara. You can take the cable cars up to the mountain-top restaurants or simply relax and explore the town. If you do decide to head out for a short spin, there are plenty of great routes and our team on the ground will be happy to offer recommendations.

It’s an early start this morning. Breakfast is served from roughly 5.15 am, and you must be in your start pen by 6.15 am (15 minutes before the race begins). If you’re not in the pen 15 minutes before the start, the organisers will direct you to the back pen.

Roads are closed to traffic, so the plan is to freewheel from the hotel to the race start.

We will have support available at two points along the route. The first will be shortly after the start, where we’ll be ready to collect any gear you no longer need, such as extra clothing worn in the start pens. The second will be an additional feed stop at the 55 km mark, where you can top up your supplies or use it as a pick-up/drop-off point for your own items.

All riders make their way round the Sella Ronda, and you can choose your distance on the day. Unless you’re riding the short route, you’ll ride down through Arabba towards Andraz. If you’d like the 106 km/65 miles route, simply turn left at the clearly sign-posted intersection, or hop over the brow of the hill to continue down to the Passo Giau and the full 138 km/85 miles distance.

At the end of the race, we’ll be waiting for you in the Love Velo gazebo by the finish line. Enjoy a cold beer, take the weight off your legs and relax with us before grabbing a pizza at the Taverna or going back to the hotel for a shower. You did it!
