On 06 July 2014 will be the second half-marathon on the Alpe di Siusi. In the month of July 2014 Europe's biggest and most beautiful high-plateau has to offer a very special sporting highlight, which isn´t only for the athletes themselves, but also for all visitors and interested parties. The event is the culmination in the "Running-month of July."

General information

For many years the marathon stars from Kenya come on the Alpe di Siusi - the largest mountain plateau in Europe - to prepare here for the marathons in autumn. The altitude between 1,800 and 2,200 meters above sea level and the varied routes ensure optimal training conditions. Also in 2014 the world's best marathon runners come from 29.06. until 13.07.2014 on the Alpe di Siusi again.

By 2012, the "Alpe di Siusi Running" was performed as part of the residence of the Kenyan marathon stars, in which the athletes were able to measure on a 12.7 km long track. Last year, the run course was extended to a half-marathon and at the same time the route had changed, so that in 2014 already the second Alpe di Siusi Half Marathon takes place.

The special favor of the Alpe di Siusi half marathon is apart from the sporting challenge that the route also represents a unique scenic experience. The Alpe di Siusi with the unique panorama of the Dolomites makes the half marathon to a very special sporting event.

The Alpe di Siusi Half Marathon will take place this year on Sunday, 07/06/2014. The route firstly leads from Compaccio to the junction (just before the Ritsch) to the Piz.
