The “Dolomiti Extreme Trail”, or DXT for short, saw its first edition in 2013 and has come a long way since then!
It has become one of the most popular competitions in Italy of its kind, for its organization, hospitality and the charm of its courses.
Today the "Dolomiti Extreme Trail" boasts six races: ranging from the spearhead - the 103k, which will lead you to the discovery of all the mountains that crown the Val di Zoldo; to the equally captivating 72k, 55k, 35k, 22k, 11k; to the Mini DXT for young runners.
Val di Zoldo, which has remained untouched by mass tourism, has preserved the untamed allure of the mountains and their ancient paths, thus offering a "pure" trail through uncontaminated woods, incomparable rock formations and vast scree, along paths that will lead you to cross small streams, jump roots and climb steep slopes, entranced by the majesty of some of the most beautiful peaks of the Dolomites declared a UNESCO world Heritage Site.
In the village of Forno, a particular atmosphere envelopes you, centered around the services provided by DXT Village and the event’s starting and finishing points. You will experience the authentic warmth of a community gathered around the athletes. Thanks to over 300 local volunteers, this event, now international, retains its Ecotrail spirit, a value deeply cherished by the organization.
Dolomiti Extreme Trail: more than a race against time, it is a journey into oneself.
We would like to remind you that the 103k, 72k, 55k, 35k and 22k races are qualifying UTMB Mont-Blanc events and part of the ITRA National League.
Additionally, they participate in the Europe Trail Cup championship, offering prize money to the top three female and male winners in two categories: TRAIL, which includes the DXT 22k, 35k and 55k races, and ULTRA, encompassing the DXT 72k and 103k.
In the heart of Europe, where the mountains whisper tales of adventure, the Europe Trail Cup emerges and unifies the spirit of trail-running enthusiasts across Poland,
Slovakia, Slovenia, Italy, Bosnia, Serbia, and Macedonia.

enthusiasts in a mix of culture, camaraderie, and competition.
