MUTATIO THE MARATONA CHANGES TO REMAIN ITSELF

There are only two more months to go until the 37^th edition of the Maratona dles Dolomites – Enel, dedicated to „Mutatio”, which will take place on Sunday, 7 July 2024.

ALTA BADIA (SOUTH TYROLEAN DOLOMITES/ITALY) – EVERYTHING CHANGES, AND EVERYTHING FLOWS

Humans change, often failing to learn the right lessons from the past; mountains around us change, often due to human actions; cyclists struggling on the passes change, and their metamorphosis is more than positive, just as the Maratona changes in an attempt to improve while remaining true to itself. „Mutatio” is the theme of the 37^th edition and is a principle dear to us because humans can exist only in relation to others, in a continuous process of transformation. Will the Maratona change? Certainly, it will change. Just as the thousands of cyclists pedaling on the Dolomite passes will change. Panta rei, everything flows.

NUMBERS AND REQUESTS

Despite the passing years, and speaking of mutations, the allure of the Maratona seems never to change. This year, requests for participation were nearly four times higher than the available bibs.
