Second stage of Val di Fassa Running: starting from Vigo, 10 km along the Ciampedie hillside
The Val di Fassa Running stage race returns to the 2026 sporting calendar with its historic format, organised by Val di Fassa Grandi Eventi: five stages, 6-12 km each, a different location every day, for a total of around 40 km of rolling sections to push the pace, flowing descents and climbs that test both legs and mindset. From 21 to 26 June, runners take on spectacular courses through the most iconic corners of the valley.
After the evening opener in Canazei, Val di Fassa Running shifts up a gear: these are the stages that begin to shape the overall men's and women's standings. This is where runners start positioning themselves, managing their energy and understanding what kind of week lies ahead. Monday kicks off in Vigo di Fassa. The second stage covers 10.1 km with 329 metres of elevation gain, tracing a scenic hillside route beneath Ciampedie. You leave the village, run high above the valley floor, reach Pozza and Pera from above, and then loop back to Vigo. It's a stage that demands both rhythm and focus: climbs to pace carefully, rolling sections to push on, and legs that need to keep turning without going into the red. Walkers also have their own dedicated course: 4.4 km with 179 metres of elevation gain, starting and finishing in Vigo - the same race atmosphere, a more sustainable pace, and the same spectacular Dolomite backdrop.
If you can't commit to the full week, choose your challenge - you can also enter a single stage, with registration available directly at the start.
