Dolomiti Extreme Trail, live.

Around the peaks of the Val di Zoldo

The Dolomiti Extreme Trail, or DXT, fills Forno di Zoldo from 11 to 13 June 2027 with six trail races from 13 km to 102 km in the Dolomites.

The DXT was first held in 2013 and is organised by Atletica Zoldo, a club founded in 1999, with more than 300 volunteers from the valley. Start, finish and the DXT Village are all in Forno di Zoldo at 850 m. The races from 22K upwards are part of the Europe Trail Cup and the ITRA National League.

The 103K, in fact 102 km with 6,500 m of climbing and a 30 hour limit, starts at 22:00 on Friday 11 June. It follows much of the Anello Zoldano, crossing Forcella Piccola into the Dolomiti Bellunesi National Park, then Passo Duran, Bivacco Grisetti at 2,050 m, the slopes of the Civetta, Passo Staulanza and the Pelmo, Monte Rite at 2,180 m and the steep Calada descent of 1,000 m in about 1.5 km. The 72K, 76 km with 4,800 m, starts at midnight the same night with a 21 hour limit.

On Saturday 12 June the 55K, 58 km with 3,600 m, starts at 05:30 with a 15 hour limit, and the 35K, 38 km with 2,500 m, at 08:00 with 8 hours. On Sunday 13 June the 22K, 21 km with 1,140 m and the most runnable of the main races, and the 11K, 13 km with 670 m, both start at 08:30 with a 4 hour limit. A Mini DXT is held for children.

The long races are for experienced mountain athletes, and the 22K and 11K are a good introduction to Dolomite trails. Spectators gather in Forno for the finishes, and along the route at the checkpoints of Passo Duran and Passo Staulanza.

On Livebib you can follow a participant who chooses to share their own live position from the phone they carry. This is not the organiser's timing, so the dot on the map is only as good as that phone and its signal. Official results and split times come from the organiser.
