The Maratona dles Dolomites – Enel is much more than a race. It’s a collective gesture, an exercise in beauty and endurance, an invitation to look within, to seek the light.
And so, with simplicity, we wish you just one thing: to see the light around us. Not only the one that filters between the peaks at dawn, but the one you carry inside, the one that sustains us when everything feels heavy, when the climb seems endless. That’s where something can be ignited: a thought of love, a moment of gratitude, and above all, the strength to go on. Because that’s what will always make the difference—continuing and never giving up on what we dream.

Our light is born from what we have been, from the falls and the rises, from the journeys we’ve dreamed, from the people we’ve met along the way. It’s that silent force that drives us to climb, to ride against the wind, when the gradient seems stronger than we are. Our light is what drives us to become who we will be—thanks to today, even tomorrow.

To ride is to cross boundaries—both external and internal. Every climb is a test, every pedal stroke an opportunity. In a world that is bright but hardly enlightened, where wars light up the nights with white phosphorus bombs and connection is constant but intimate presence is rare, to ride is an act of silence, a return to the essential, a meditation in motion.

The light is the life within us that will never cease to exist, because we are part of the universe as a whole.

It doesn’t matter who finishes first. What matters is being there, feeling, recognizing that the true finish line lights up within us.
Yes! We will start in the dark, but there will be light along the way and at the finish!
We will carry the light with us.

Happy Maratona. May it be light—inside and out.
