The fourth edition of the Mini Dolomites SkyRace took place today in Marconi Square, Canazei. It was a stunning day, blue skies, fluffy clouds and families of all ages participated in an inspiring few hours.

It’s here that Skyrunner’s of the future are created and it’s just so great to see. I wish this could become a regular feature of all races.

In particular, it was the race with the ‘youngest’ taking part that created the most inspiration, humour and yes, tears…. Father’s carried children in their arms, mums pushed babies in their prams and Skyrunning World Champion, Elisa Desco, ran side-by-side with her daughter.

Those that didn’t run, supported from the side lines, cheering with flags, shaking bells and encouraging all those who took part.

Skyrunning of the future starts here
