If the Südtirol Drei Zinnen Alpine Run has inspired thousands of runners over the years and is now considered one of the most spectacular mountain races, the first edition of the Südtirol Drei Zinnen Winter Night Run promises to ignite the same magic – but under the stars, in the silence and power of the Dolomite winter, with the iconic Tre Cime di Lavaredo (Three Peaks of Lavaredo) in the heart of the Sesto Dolomites in South Tyrol, which give their name to the Tre Cime Nature Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Runners from all over Italy and beyond will gather on Friday 27 February 2026 to take part in a 13-kilometre running challenge with 238 metres of elevation gain, immersed in the heart of the Sesto Dolomites in South Tyrol, between the Val Fiscalina and the imposing walls of Cima Una. The race takes place on a well-trodden track, which can be tackled comfortably with classic running shoes. The start will be set up in the area of the Hotel Waldheim, then climb gently up the Val Fiscalina to the Fondovalle Refuge, before descending back down to Sesto. For pure amateurs, there will be the opportunity to participate in the non-competitive Just for Fun event, to enjoy the event without worrying about stopwatches or rankings. In this setting of rare beauty, with breathtaking views of the Val Fiscalina as the star attraction, the organising committee ALV Sextner Dolomiten, chaired by Alfred Prenn, is preparing to experience a new chapter in sport and entertainment with the first edition of the Südtirol Drei Zinnen Winter Night Run, a race that combines sport, nature and the charm of the night, promising authentic emotions under the immobile gaze of the Dolomites.
