Explore the route and altimetry to relive this mythical climb

86.0KM – 4500M+
Description

The HERO Südtirol Dolomites in the Marathon category is one of the toughest mountain bike races in the world: 86 kilometers and 4,500 meters of elevation gain around the legendary Sella Massif, with start and finish in Selva di Val Gardena, in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage Dolomites. It's not a race for those out of shape—it's a race for those who want to earn the title of hero.

The route covers the four Ladin valleys—Val Gardena, Alta Badia, Arabba, and Val di Fassa—crossing the Passo Gardena, Campolongo, Pordoi, and Duron Passes, reaching its highest point at 2,298 meters at Dantercepies. 70% of the course is on dirt roads and singletrack: prolonged climbs, technical descents, and ever-changing terrains, where legs contend with the mind. In winter, these same valleys are traversed on skis—in summer, they are tackled by pedaling with everything you've got.

The first edition dates back to 2010, with about 400 participants from 16 nations. Today, the HERO gathers over 4,000 entrants from every corner of the world—an army of mountain bikers united by the same obsession. Colombian Leonardo Paez has won the race an impressive 8 times, becoming the living symbol of this race. Whoever crosses the finish line doesn't just take home a race bib: they take home the right to call themselves a hero.
