21 kilometres, 601 metres of elevation gain and 700 participants: these are the characteristic numbers of the 8th Alpe di Siusi Half Marathon on 4 July 2021. The starter's gun for the running event with start and finish in Compaccio is fired at 09.30 a.m. Surrounded by the Dolomites UNESCO World Heritage, the Alpe di Siusi Half Marathon is a unique experience and sporting challenge for both professional and amateur athletes. 

Many questions are still open. Can the run take place as usual with audience and party in the finish area? Does it need a negative corona test? Can a mass start take place? Can the run take place at all? To these and many other questions, we are not able to give you exact answers today.  However, we assure you that we will do everything possible to be able to hold the race and comply with all safety regulations that are required on the 4th of July. We will keep you informed!

How are the horse's hooves shod? Which horse breeds and which riding styles are there? At the equestrian farm Unterlanzin we can also clean and groom the horses ourselves. After the work is done, we will ride a few guided rounds in the riding arena. As a souvenir of this afternoon around the horse we will get a horseshoe - a bit of luck to take home. Suitable for children from 6 years accompanied by an adult.
