Dolomites Saslong Half Marathon

The Saslong Half Marathon will take place on Saturday, June 6, 2026, starting and finishing at Monte Pana in St. Christina, Val Gardena, Italy. This 21 km trail running race has 900 m of elevation gain and runs clockwise around the Sassolungo (Sassolungo) massif, part of the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage site. The course passes through alpine terrain with rough paths, trails, and gravel, with a maximum time limit of 4 hours. Intermediate cut‑offs: Sella Pass (~8 km) at 2 hours, and Sasso Piatto hut (~15 km) at 2 hours 45 minutes.

All participants must follow event regulations. The race takes place on alpine routes with rough paths, trails, and gravel. Weather in the mountains can change rapidly; trail shoes and weather‑appropriate clothing are highly recommended. The organisers may require trail shoes for safety reasons; non‑compliance results in exclusion without refund. Sticks (trekking poles) are allowed. The course crosses a protected nature reserve — littering outside provided containers is prohibited and results in disqualification.
