Sportful Dolomiti Gran Fondo
The Gran Fondo Sportful Dolomiti is one of the hardest sportives in Italy. The long route is 204 km miles with over 4,900m feet of climbing is a true test for any cyclists. In fact the event's tag line is "Only for real cyclists". There is a shorter 120 km course which still packs in 2,800m feet of climbing.
In 2009 the famous Granfondo Campagnolo became the Granfondo Sportful. Starting from the town of Feltre (the home of Sportful and Castelli), the route quickly climbs into the Dolomites tackling legendary climbs of the Croce D’Aune and Passo di Rolle. The highest point of the route comes after 57 miles with the Passo Manghen at 6,715 feet. After 135 miles you return to Feltre with over 17,000 feet of climbing in the legs!
