How does the Dolomites Last Loop work?
Every hour on the hour, a common 6.71 km loop starts. If you finish in time, you start again the next hour. Miss the cutoff and you’re out. The winner is the last runner to complete one more full loop than everyone else.

The race kicks off on May 15, 2027 in Toblach. The exact start time and all further details will be announced in time via newsletter and social channels.
