Duman - tomorrow
Duman, meaning tomorrow in Ladin language, is the theme chosen as the guiding thread of the Maratona dles Dolomites 2019. Duman is an invitation to all of us, cyclists or not, to question ourselves about the future of our planet, starting from each one of us - what we can do as individuals and as a community to slow down the exaggerated consumption of resources that Mother Earth has given us for millennia.
How can we make our little contribution to help protecting our ecosystem and thus our human well-being?

The Maratona dles Dolomites - Enel in numbers

The first Maratona dles Dolomites event took place in 1987. 166 cyclists from Italy, Germany and Austria took part in the race.

The number of participants increased from year to year. In 1990 it was just under 1,000 participants, rising to just over 6,000 in the mid-1990s. Today the number has had to be limited to 9,000 enthusiastic cyclists who get the chance each year to take part in this unique and world famous marathon.

Just how remarkable this success story is can be seen from the fact that in 2014 there were over 31,000 applications from would-be participants!
