BMW HERO Südtirol Dolomites
Dolomites Val Gardena - Italy
The 2025 HERO Series kicks off from the summits of the Dolomites, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with the HERO Südtirol Dolomites, the toughest mountain bike marathon in the world.
Aspiring Titan HEROes will have to face this first, great challenge by competing on the 86 km and 4,200 hm course on the Sella massif.
Cyclists will have to tackle demanding climbs, technical downhills, and different types of terrain across the four Ladin valleys of the Sellaronda and the Seiser Alm. A challenge which will push all participants, amateurs and pros alike, to their limits – a veritable test of their mental and physical stamina, the hallmarks of true heroes!
The HERO family keeps on growing!
Dedicated to people looking for that extra challenge, in pursuit of that adrenaline rush which comes from following one’s passion.
Get ready for summer 2025 – three UCI races are lined up for our HEROes. The first in the Series kicks off in June with the BMW HERO Südtirol Dolomites, followed in July by the Black Forest ULTRA Bike Marathon in Germany, and ends with the Iron Bike Race in Switzerland in September.
