Lavaredo 80K

Lavaredo 80K

The organiser describes it as a crossing through the heart of the Dolomites with a passage beneath the north faces of the Tre Cime di Lavaredo. From Val Marzon at 995 m the course reaches Cimabanche at 26 km, then Malga Ra Stua at 35 km, Malga Travenanzes at 49 km and Rifugio Col Gallina at 56 km. The last third is the same line the 120K finishes on: Rifugio Averau at 2,417 m, Passo Giau at 63 km, Rifugio Croda da Lago at 71 km and the descent past Mortisa to Corso Italia.

There are five refreshment stations, plus water at Val di Cengia (a stream, km 8) and Malga Travenanzes (a fountain, km 49). Crew assistance is allowed at Cimabanche and Col Gallina only, one person per runner. With a 07:00 start and 22 hours available, faster runners finish in the evening and the rest come down from Croda da Lago in the dark, sharing the trail with the 120K field.

On Livebib the runner shares a link to their own broadcast. Family open it in a browser without an account or app and see the position on the course line, the distance covered and a finish estimate that updates through the day. Between Cimabanche and Col Gallina there are 30 km without crew access, and if the phone loses signal there the position is carried forward along the course and marked as estimated rather than frozen.
