Lavaredo Ultra Trail by UTMB is a Dolomites trail-running classic with distances from a 10K to a 120K mountain ultra based in Cortina d’Ampezzo.
Course Highlights
The 2027 program is scheduled for June 23–27, with the Lavaredo 50K on June 25 at 8:00 a.m. and additional races across the week. Official race information describes the 50K as 50 kilometers with about 2,600 meters of climbing, starting and finishing on Corso Italia in Cortina.
Cortina d’Ampezzo and the Dolomites gives the race its sense of place, with the start and finish designed to put runners close to the most memorable parts of the destination. The course profile and terrain make it worthwhile to study the organizer maps before race day rather than relying only on the headline distance.
Race Details
The next listed race date is 2027-06-25 with a typical start around 08:00 local time. Distances include 120K, 80K, 50K, 20K and 10K trail races. Check the official website for registration deadlines, wave assignments, course changes, time limits and final logistics, especially if you are traveling internationally.
Dolomite weather and elevation demand mountain preparation even for the shorter courses. Plan lodging well ahead, review the UTMB World Series registration and mandatory-equipment information, arrive early for bib collection and build in time to move around the valley without relying on race-day parking. Build a simple race-weekend plan that covers packet pickup, sleep, breakfast, hydration, transport and a post-race meeting point. For destination events, keeping the plan flexible is useful because weather and road closures can change the best way to reach the start.
Why Runners Love It
Lavaredo’s strength is the way it combines a globally recognizable alpine destination with a complete week of racing. A 10K or 20K can introduce travelers to the terrain, while the 50K, 80K and 120K distances deliver the technical and scenic challenge that has made the event a fixture on the international trail calendar.
Whether the goal is a personal best, a first long-distance finish, a relay with friends or a scenic travel experience, this event offers more than a start line. Read the organizer guidance, respect local course rules and arrive ready to enjoy the community atmosphere as well as the miles.

Race-weekend planning: Recheck the organizer website as the event approaches for final maps, bib collection windows, weather guidance, aid-station details and transport changes. A little planning goes a long way: protect sleep, identify a warm-up route near the hotel, decide where supporters will meet after the finish and keep the official emergency and course-contact information with you.
