Maratona dles Dolomites
The Maratona dles Dolomites (''Dolomites Marathon''), is an annual single-day road bicycle race covering seven spectacular mountain passes in the Dolomites. Open to amateur cyclists, the Maratona—with 9,000 riders from over 40 nations—is one of the biggest Italian ''Granfondo'' bicycle races.〔http://www.cyclingweekly.co.uk/rides/CycloSportive_Maratona_dles_Dolomites_2008_article_262725.html Cycling Weekly; July 3, 2008〕 ''National Geographic'' described it as "''one of the biggest, most passionate, and most chaotic bike races on Earth.''"〔''National Geographic'', (Italy's Cycle of Life ).〕
== History ==
The first Maratona was held on July 12, 1987 as part of the tenth anniversary celebrations of the Alta Badia-Raiffeisen Cycling Club (). 166 riders raced in this first event covering 175 km and 7 passes in the Dolomites.〔http://www.maratona.it/info/stat/history/ Maratona History〕
In 1989 the race had to be abandoned because of heavy snowfalls on the ascent to Giau Pass. But since then the number of people who would like to ride the Maratona has increased exponentially. In 2004 the number of participants had to be limited to 9,000 riders and lotteries were introduced to draw participants. For the 2012 edition 29,100 people registered to take part in that year’s lottery, which will allocate 4,800 entries. A further 4,200 entries are reserved for official tour operators, fidelity Members of the Maratona, and charity racers bringing the final tally of participants to 9,000 persons.〔http://www.maratona.it/info/enrolment/maratona/2011/en/ Conditions of entry〕
