Spring Night Run

The 9th Spring Night Run, organized by A.S.D. F.O.R., takes place on 30 May 2026 in Dobbiaco-Toblach, Dolomites, Italy. This 11 km night race, inserted in the national calendar of FIDAL (Italian Athletics Federation), starts at 8:45 PM from the Tre Cime Point of View at the foot of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo and finishes at the Grand Hotel Park in Dobbiaco. The event offers both competitive and non-competitive categories, with a mandatory headlamp required for all participants.

The magical appointment of the Cortina Dobbiaco Run gives hundreds of runners a unique experience: running in the light of the sunset starting at the foot of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. The route passes by Lake Dobbiaco before arriving at the Grand Hotel Park. This is a sunset run in the Dolomites, combining breathtaking mountain scenery with the thrill of a night race under mandatory headlamp.

Registration fees increase progressively as participant thresholds are reached. Online registration closes on 26 May 2026 at 24:00. General registration closes on 29 May 2026 at 24:00. Day-of-race registration is accepted until 7:30 PM, only if the 400-entry maximum has not been reached. The organization reserves the right to close registration early if the maximum number of members is reached.

Registered athletes who cannot take part by 26 May 2026 may postpone their registration to 2027 or make a name change. The event offers competitive and non-competitive categories, with full regulations available separately for each.

Runners consistently praise the magnificent landscape and perfect organization. Past participants have enjoyed the race under rain, snow, and sunshine—always describing the atmosphere as exceptional. One runner wrote: "Thank you for making me as happy as a child. Very beautiful setting and excellent organization." Another called it an "exceptional race" with a "magnificent landscape."
