The Maratona dles Dolomites (Ladin for "Dolomites Marathon"; Italian: Maratona delle Dolomiti), is an annual single-day road bicycle race covering seven mountain passes in the Dolomites. Open to amateur cyclists, the Maratona—with 9,000 riders chosen from 30,000 applicants,[1] from over 70 nations—is one of the biggest Italian Granfondo bicycle races.[2][3] National Geographic described it as "one of the biggest, most passionate, and most chaotic bike races on Earth."[4]
