As always, in the days leading up to the race, San Leonardo in Badia becomes the beating heart of the entire Maratona, thanks to its incredible Village. Here, among the stalls, music, parades and gastronomy, thousands of fans and visitors meet in what can be considered the symbolic meeting point of the Dolomitic granfondo cycling ride. From 4th to 6th of July, the Maratona Village will be the ideal venue to meet, have fun, get together and discover all the news from the world of cycling and beyond.

Good to know
This year the Maratona Village has a number of new features, all the more reason to visit and discover them one by one. Let's start with Pirelli, who will be giving everyone the chance to have their tyres checked right at the bicycle depot. Next is Compex, where you can get an electrostimulation massage. Then Vibram, with its new generation of anti-slip cleats, DMT, with the Maratona shoe, a model that is making waves at Pogacar, and Castelli, with the sixth generation of the 'Gabba R'.

Over forty companies and a host of personalities
Every year, the large presence of partner companies in the Maratona Village is a source of great satisfaction for both the organisers and the curious visitors. More than forty companies will be present, making life in the Maratona Village even more exciting, with a stage for parades, interviews and festive moments. And as usual, as visitors browse through the stalls which will reveal previews of some very interesting news day after day, they will be able to meet and learn about the famous characters and personalities who are available to the public for interviews, a quick chat, autographs and impromptu photos.

Very interesting curiosities
Pinarello presents the Dogma X, the ideal bike for the Maratona, with a special frame that achieves the perfect balance between performance and comfort. Seeing it up close and touching it will dispel even the most sceptical doubts. At the Technogym stand, it will be possible to talk to the company's technicians about training and health, making a visit more useful and interesting than ever. Last but not least, the Maratona Village offers free bicycle depot, so there is no need to take the car. Here too, the Maratona shows its green side, an aspect we want to share with all our cycling friends. Last but not least, the pre-race massage service in collaboration with the Enrico Fermi School.

Maratona-friendly companies
We have already mentioned Pinarello and its futuristic bicycles, but this year the list of companies that are friends of the Maratona is also very extensive, starting with Kask+Koo, with its new collection of glasses and helmets, which can now be considered a permanent fixture in the Village. The same goes for Enervit, which will be at the public's disposal to advise on the use of the most suitable energy products for the type of route chosen, Mapei, which has been successfully animating this three-day event for years, as well as Selle Italia with its innovative system for finding the right position in the saddle, Enel and Audi with their ultra-technological spaces where it is possible to discover the fantastic world of electric cars and innovations in the energy sector. And at the end, or during, as you prefer, coffee will be kindly provided by Segafredo.

Gourmet Maratona racers
To call it a gastronomic corner would be a huge undertatement: the area reserved for tasting the various exhibitor products has become even more appetising thanks to the presence of multiple friends, including Cantine Maschio, Delicious Trail, Foodness, Loacker, Rio Mare, Yoga, Ambrosoli, Segafredo and Granaraolo. There truly is something for everyone.

Designer jersey
A welcome confirmation is the renewed partnership between Castelli and Maratona and the shop is displaying the new garments designed and made exclusively for the event. This is where you can find products from an increasingly broad collection by Maratona dles Dolomites – Enel, including the fantastic leisurewear sweatshirts and T-shirts and the original and brightly coloured cycling kit, with all the related accessories: gloves, socks, arm and leg sleeves to enjoy bicycle outings on any occasion.

An ever greener corner
To confirm the awareness of the Maratona of environmental issues, the “Green Corner” has been confirmed: in this space, some of our volunteer friends will help visitors sort their waste appropriately. Last but not least, it is worth noting the significant effort made by exhibitors who will try to limit plastic as much as possible either using paper or biodegradable plastic instead. Finally, although the shuttle service is back in operation, we recommend that everyone arrives in the Village by bike. Some pre-race training is certainly recommended.

All that remains at this point is to wish you the best fun possible at the Maratona Village, a place for everyone to meet up, make discoveries and have fun.
