Official event pageWhat this race demands
Top Dolomites demands sustained climbing and descending capacity over a mountainous 111-kilometer route with 2,780 meters of elevation gain.
Climbing volume
The course accumulates 2,780 meters of vertical gain over 111 kilometers, requiring continuous output on steep mountain gradients characteristic of the region.
Muscular endurance
A duration exceeding four hours places heavy demands on force production and pedalling efficiency through repeated climbs.
