About Lavaredo 20K

Lavaredo 20K is the 20.0km trail race at La Sportiva Lavaredo Ultra Trail by UTMB 2026 (Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy). The race starts on June 25, 2026.

Race strategy

Run the climb at race pace, build your speed on the downhill, and go all out at the finish.

  • Steep 32% wall. Control your pace and stay focused.
  • Final 946m descent. Save your legs to go all out on it.
  • Control your HR on the first mountain, and start the final descent from 10.2km under control, then go all out near the bottom.
  • Start · 0.0km–2.2km · Race-day nerves push your heart rate up: don't follow the crowd, find your own rhythm.
  • Settle in · 2.2km–10.2km · Climb of 969m. Ease in: hold back more than feels necessary. The race is still ahead. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace. Hike the steepest pitches.
  • Home · 10.2km–19.3km · Descent of 946m averaging 10%, high point 2103m. Build to the finish: leave whatever you have left out on the course. Very long descent: first half under control, then even, let go only near the end.

Course

The course climbs 900m+. With 45m/km of climbing, this is a true mountain course with sustained climbs and descents. By gradient, 28% of the distance is uphill, 40% downhill and 31% flat.

The steepest descent drops at 27.0% over 0.4km. Surface: 68% trail, 18% road, and 6% technical. Flat-equivalent effort: 28.9 FlatKM.

Poles

Poles bring little benefit here: only about 2.3km of pole-friendly terrain.

Quad damage

Quad damage risk is low (index 16 of 100): a few descents worth noting, none of them decisive.

  • Control your HR on the first mountain, and start the final descent from 10.2km under control, then go all out near the bottom.
  • 10.2–19.3 km · 946 m D−, -10.4% · 0.0 km ahead → even, first half under control, let go at the end
