Thursday 1 July, 2021 – arrival day

Please make your way to your chosen hotel if you have chosen one of our 4 night hotel options. Please arrange your own flight to Venice Marco Polo airport and if you have booked the airport transfers with us then you will be met on arrival by our Sports Tours bike guide.

From Marco Polo we will run airport transfers to the resort of Alta Badia for you and your bike at 13.00* and 18.00*. The transfer is likely to take about 4 hours so we advise you to bring some food and drink with you. On arrival and before dinner we will get together for an introductory meeting and a chance to get to know everybody on the trip.

*The transfer will depart the airport at 13.00 and at 18.00 so please ensure that your flight arrives at least 45 minutes before this time so that you are at the bus and ready to depart for this time. If your flight arrives after 13.00 or you are not able to get through arrivals before 13.00, the bus will depart and you will need to wait for the 18.00 transfer

Friday 2 July 2021 – preparation day and race briefing

Sunday 4 July – The 2021 Maratona does Dolomites – Enel:

This is it, Maratona day. You will be one of the lucky 9000 who has an entry for this event. After an early breakfast, we will ride the short distance to the start. The start is at 06h30 but you have to be in your pen before 06h15 as this is when the organisers close the pens.
