Where it stands

As of 7 Jul 2026

Not yet open as of 2026-07-07. The 2026 edition ran July 5, 2026; Conditions of Entry 2027 publish on maratona.it at the end of September 2026, with pre-registration expected mid-October to early November 2026 and the draw in the second half of November 2026.

How to enter

Pre-register online at maratona.it during the autumn 2026 window and pay the small pre-entry fee; a draw (sorteggio) is held in the second half of November, split proportionally between solo and group (2-4 and 5+) applications; if drawn, pay the full fee by the early-December deadline. Guaranteed no-draw routes: loyalty riders with 15+ completed editions; applicants not drawn/not on start lists in the last 5 editions are readmitted automatically; official tour operator packages; 400 charity bibs sold in two tranches (November and March); top-3 finishers of Maratona and Medium routes who attend the awards ceremony earn next-year entry without the draw.

Your odds

2026 edition: just over 8,000 riders total, of which 4,300 places were assigned by draw and roughly 3,700 reserved for tour operators, loyalty riders, charity and invitations. Organizer history and media cite 30,000+ pre-registrations in recent cycles, implying draw odds well below 1 in 4 (unofficial).

Good to know

Event date 2027-07-04 is official (maratona.it deadlines page lists 'July 4th 2027: 40th Maratona dles Dolomites - Enel'). The existence of a 2027 draw is officially confirmed: the 2026 Conditions of Entry state awards-ceremony attendees gain 2027 entry 'without having to go through the draw', and the how-to-register page says 'The Conditions of Entry 2027 will be published on www.maratona.it at the end of September 2026'. opens_at/closes_at mirror the previous cycle (pre-entry October 8 to November 4, 2025; draw second half of November 2025; payment by December 4, 2025) and are estimates, hence dates_estimated=true. Expect results one day after the draw and payment due early December 2026.
