The possibilities for trail running lovers in Cortina d'Ampezzo are truly numerous and in different environments in the Natural Park of the Ampezzo Dolomites, among plateaus, hidden valleys, enchanted forests and panoramic viewpoints. There are also numerous alpine refuges and ‘malghe’ (shepherd's huts), environments with a warm welcome and the scent of tradition.

Cortina hosts several international running competitions every year, making the Queen of the Dolomites a particularly popular destination for lovers of this sport: 

In June, the season opens with the historic Cortina-Dobbiaco Run, along the route of the former railway line from Cortina to Dobbiaco. 

Then there is the Lavaredo Ultra Trail, a spectacular event with races of different lengths: for daredevil athletes, the most sought-after challenge is certainly the 120 km with its 5800 m of positive altitude difference, but there are others for those who want to put themselves to the test (80, 50, 20 and 10 km).

Finally, in September, Cortina hosts the Delicious Festival Dolomiti, a sporting, cultural and culinary event that aims to highlight the historical, natural, alpine and gastronomic heritage and offers trail running enthusiasts several races to choose from (43, 35 and 23 km).
