First top athlete registered for the Brixen Dolomites Marathon

In addition to the many amateur athletes, numerous top athletes will take part in the traditional mountain running event in the former bishop's residence. Marco Menegardi, the first top runner, has confirmed his participation in the 42,195 kilometer long race with an altitude of 2450 meters from Brixen Cathedral Square up to the Plose. Marco Menegardi is at home on long distances. The 35-year-old from the province of Brescia recently won the Italian championship title over 100 kilometers. This time the national championships took place as part of a special edition on the circuit at the “Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari” in Imola. For the athlete from the Atletica Paratico club, it was the third “Scudetto” of his career. But Menegardi is no stranger to Brixen either. At the last Brixen Dolomites Marathon in July 2019, he came third behind winner Andreas Reiterer and runner-up Matteo Lucchese. “We are absolutely on target.” OC boss Christina Jocher “We are pleased that we can announce Marco Menegardi, the first name of a top athlete who will be taking part in the Brixen Dolomites Marathon. We are in contact with some other top runners and are convinced that some outstanding runners will enrich our field of participants in the coming weeks,” says OC boss Christian Jocher. The preparations for the mountain running event in Brixen, which in addition to the marathon distance includes the Dolomites Ultra Trail (84 km/4728 hm), the LadiniaTrail (29 km/1852 hm) and the new Villnöss Dolomiten Run (22,3 km/ 400 m) are running at full speed. “We are absolutely on target. The entire team – despite the forced break last year – is absolutely well-coordinated and everyone knows exactly what needs to be done. We will do everything we can to set a positive example and show that things are finally looking up again after this terrible year,” said Jocher.
