Paving the way for others resonates with you

While the runners on the shores of Lake Molveno warm up with their final strides and check their laces, an entire community has already moved silently up into the Brenta trails. They are the carpenters, the workers, and the pensioners from our villages.

For them, helping to organise the Dolomiti di Brenta Trail isn't about logistics; it’s a ritual of hospitality. These volunteers are the guardians of the trail: they are there to offer a softly spoken word of encouragement, to run a safety check, or to hand a piece of chocolate to a runner with trembling legs.

Dolomiti di Brenta Trail: 1,000 athletes, 250 volunteers.

“I came back again this year for the company and to lend a hand. It’s something that really brings us together.”

The evening before, a few volunteers have dinner and spend the night at Malga Spora to be ready to head out at first light.

When the last athlete crosses the finish line, their work continues in silence. They pack away, they clean up, they give the trail back to the rock. Behind the spotlight of an event that draws athletes from all over the world, what remains are the weathered hands and full hearts of those who didn't run a single kilometre, but made every single step toward the summit possible.
