In 2025 we will celebrate the 15th edition of the HERO Südtirol Dolomites, the toughest mountain bike marathon in the world.
Moreover, this will be the 3rd stage of the UCI HERO Cross-Country Marathon World Cup. Aspiring World Cup champions will have to compete on the 86 km and 4,500 hm course around the Sella massif.
Cyclists will have to tackle demanding climbs, technical downhills, and different types of terrain across the four Ladin valleys of the Sellaronda and the Seiser Alm. A challenge which will push all participants, amateurs and pros alike, to their limits – a veritable test of their mental and physical stamina, the hallmarks of true heroes!
