Traditional Opening with the Dolomite Sprint
The oldest sprint event in the world has been a unique spectacle for more than 25 years now. The new concept of the cross-town sprint transforms the Lienz main square into a cross-country arena. With a roundabout, a hill and an elevated starting ramp as well as difficult bends, technical ability is required as well as sprinting power. Over 5,000 spectators can enjoy live the excitement of cross-country. Not only will the best 30 sprinters in the world be competing for victory in Lienz but lots of prominent cyclists will also be testing their cross-country skills:
Bambi Marathon premiere
In the Dolomitenlauf village of Nikolsdorf a 2.5 km course will be laid out for children and pupils. The Nikolsdorf Sportunion are doing all they can to provide that special flair and make this cross-country premiere a huge success for the little ones. The Dolomitenlauf motto ‘Everyone a victor over him- and herself’ applies here just as much and there are great prizes and numerous trophies for the young racers. |
| A hearty welcome to the Lavant Romantic Race
An especially attractive start to the Dolomite Games is the newly revamped Romantic Race. At the 35th Dolomitenlauf the Romantic Race will once again be regarded as a welcoming event staged against the background of friendship without frontiers. The Lavant Sportunion have thought up quite a few things, so all Dolomitenlauf fans are well advised to arrive here in good time.
Kaiserschmarren-Party
All competitors in the 35rd Dolomitenlauf can fortify themselves at the big Tchibo Kaiserschmarren Party at 6 p.m. on Saturday in the Dolomitenhalle. This is not just a way to boost your energy but also an opportunity to taste a regional delicacy. The Kaiserschmarren (sugared pancake with raisins) is free for all skiers taking part in the Dolomitenlauf.
