Transpelmo will not offer the skyrun in 2026

Logistical constraints have forced the organizers of the Val di Zoldo event to cancel. Work is underway to propose the Pelmo Sprint, with limited places, on September 6th.

Val di Zoldo (Belluno Dolomites), March 5, 2026 – In recent days, the organizers of Transpelmo, the skyrun held around Mount Pelmo, one of the most iconic peaks in the Belluno Dolomites, have received confirmation that major construction work will be carried out in the village of Pecol, where the event is centered (start, finish, and awards ceremonies). This work will continue until the end of autumn and will prevent access to almost all of the event’s logistics areas (awards tent, showers and restrooms, and parking).
After carefully evaluating several alternative solutions, including the possibility of moving the dedicated marquee and finding parking spaces elsewhere, the organizing staff has made the decision to cancel the 2026 edition of the Transpelmo skyrun and reschedule the event for September 5, 2027.

“This is a decision we made reluctantly and after carefully evaluating every possible solution. It was a decision that cost us a lot of effort and disappointment, but we believe it was the right thing to do,” explain Eris Costa and Andrea Cero, coordinators of the Transpelmo organizing staff. “The solutions we sought and envisioned would not have allowed us to offer competitors the quality of services that Transpelmo has always ensured with the utmost care. Over the years, we have undergone several changes to location and logistics, always with the aim of improving services and offering a top-notch experience. In a complex geomorphological context like ours, finding adequate solutions to accommodate a thousand competitors was not easy, and at this particular moment, it was not possible.”

“We believe Transpelmo should convey emotion and offer a high-level experience, and for this very reason we’re opting not to organize the sky run this year,” Costa and Cero continue. “However, we won’t be stopping completely. We’ll offer activities during the summer—as in the past, we’ve offered group training sessions around Mount Pelmo and the Golden Segment challenge, which allowed Italian athletes to qualify for the Golden Trail Championship by Salomon—and, in all likelihood, we’ll hold the Transpelmo Sprint on Sunday, September 6th, the short-distance race with a limited number of participants introduced last year. We’re working hard to organize it. In the coming weeks, we’ll have more information and will share the details.“
