713 km and 22 mountain passes to be tackled between the regions of Veneto, Trentino Alto Adige and Friuli Venezia Giulia: on 11 July the world's toughest cycle race starts from Vittorio Veneto, also passing through Val di Fassa
From Duran to Sella, from Fedaia to Manghen, from San Boldo to Giau. 713 kilometres by bicycle through the three regions of the North-East, 22 mountain passes and Dolomite passes to conquer, day and night, non-stop. Over 19,000 metres of altitude difference to climb, alone or in a team, with one goal: to reach the finish line within the maximum time of 60 and a half hours.
The route also crosses Val di Fassa, offering participants breathtaking scenery along Lake Carezza, the Costalunga Pass and the villages of Vigo, Soraga and Moena, before tackling the climbs of the Fedaia Pass, Canazei and the legendary Sella Pass, the gateway to the heart of the Dolomites. This is the D+ Ultracycling Dolomitica, an epic endeavour among the most spectacular mountains in the world. An extreme challenge, where every pedal stroke brings you closer to the legend. When you feel it, you'll know you're ready.
Part of the Ultracycling Italia CUP circuit and a qualifying race for the legendary Race Across America (RAAM), the D+ Ultracycling Dolomitica has been dedicated, since its first edition in 2014, to the unforgettable champion from Treviso, Vito Favero.

- 180 - GFI. Individual time trial of 181 km, maximum 100 athletes, 4 mountain passes, maximum time of 15 hours
