Registration record for the Brixen Dolomites Marathon

The anticipation for the anniversary edition of the mountain marathon in the cathedral city is not only huge among the organizers. The running event in Brixen is obviously also renowned among athletes from all over the world, because with 467 individual runners registered for the marathon distance, the participant record from 2016 was already exceeded two months before the starting signal.

“We are overwhelmed by the enormous response our run is receiving this year. A big compliment therefore goes to the entire organization team, who are doing an outstanding job. In order to offer the many hundreds of participants the usual quality, we have decided to introduce an upper limit. As far as the marathon is concerned, we are accepting a maximum of 600 individual runners, as well as 60 teams of two and four,” explains OC boss Christian Jocher.

Dolomites Ultra Trail and LadiniaTrail with good utilization The two new runs introduced this year, the 81 kilometer long Dolomites Ultra Trail - which must be completed in teams of two - and the much shorter LadiniaTrail (28 km) are also very well received. “As of today, a good third of the available starting places have been taken. We accept a maximum of 150 teams for the Dolomites Ultra Trail; for the LadiniaTrail the starting field is limited to 150 individual runners,” Jocher continues.

There is also a new record in terms of the number of participating nations - there are currently 29 different countries. The most represented countries are currently Italy (310), Germany (241) and Switzerland (51). “But countries like the USA with 18, England with 12 or the Czech Republic with currently 21 participants are also surprising with a relatively high number of registrations. We are particularly proud that mountain runners from New Zealand, Australia, Egypt, Armenia, Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Japan and Thailand are taking part in Brixen for the first time. This means we more than live up to our reputation as an international event. We are already looking forward to the many different cultures and languages,” explains OK President Claudio Zorzi.

58 days before the starting signal for the Brixen Dolomites Marathon, the Dolomites Ultra Trail and the LadiniaTrail, due to the high demand, it is important to hurry up to secure a starting ticket for the 2019 edition. Registrations are possible on the official website of the Brixen Dolomites Marathon until the start quotas have been fulfilled.
