The “Maratona” is the most beautiful and well organized granfondo event. There is a reason that every year approx. 25,000 persons from all over the world apply for the 8,900 slots. The granfondo distance of 138 Km (there are also courses of 106 and 55 km) has 4,190 meters of elevation gain….enough to test even the strongest riders. Ride where the greats have ridden: Passo Pordoi, Passo Giau and Passo Falzarego among others. SPECTACULAR!
