We get seven Dolomite passes on closed roads, 4,230 meters of climbing, and 138 km on the full Maratona route. Getting in is the first hard climb: roughly 9,000 places are drawn from more than 30,000 hopefuls, and many bibs require a hotel package of at least 4 nights. The entry is about $170 before lodging. Early July can swing from 8 to 20 degrees, with storms over the passes.
