Everything is already ready in Corvara. The luckiest, those who were able to take a few days off, have already arrived for a few days. In Val Badia the organizational machine, under the impeccable direction of Claudio Canins, has already placed all the details for the 38th edition of the Marathon Dles Dolomites, which will start in 6.30 from La Villa. The 8,000 participants have already filled the structures of the area. After a long period of heat even at altitude, there could be the temporal risk for the slower competitors: in any case there is the obligation to carry a cape on the grill, to be worn in case of rain or cold. “A common sense rule – said the director of the marathon, Canins -, in 2024 several cyclists arrived with problems due to inadequate clothing”.
