Dolomiti Extreme Trail 2025 - Val di Zoldo (Italy)

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.

An exciting prize awaits the winners of the 103k race, as it will take them to the Andes cordillera. DXT is part of the Project Peak and our sponsor Saucony is providing a complete package for participation in the Saucony El Cruce, 100 kilometers race divided into three stages between Argentina and Chile.

The crown of the twelve peaks of Quebec and the southern group of the Dolomites come together to offer a unique experience to the winner of the DXT 72K and the Bromont Ultra 160K. Karpos offers the winner of the two competitions one of challengers proposed by the overseas partner. So, those who cross the finish line first in the DXT 72K can fly to Canada in October and compete in one of the five challenges offered by the most important ultra event in French Canada: 160K, 80K, 55K, 25K and 12K and the Dolomiti Extreme Trail will welcome the winners of the Bromont Ultra 160K.
