01 / EVENT OVERVIEW
What defines this edition.
The current programme connects the Pordoi, Sella, Gardena and Campolongo pass areas with Canazei, Selva, Corvara and Arabba. It lists race closure at 00:45 and the pasta party until 01:00 after the Friday start; the catalogue therefore includes Saturday 20 March, in Europe/Rome (CET, UTC+01:00). Conflicting sources: the organiser’s homepage, 2027 programme and Italian rules place the start and finish in Arabba/Fodom, while its English rules and linked ENDU registration metadata name Corvara/Alta Badia. This guide’s Arabba point is a programme reference, not a verified assembly point; confirm final instructions before travel.
The rules name Pordoi, Sella, Gardena and Campolongo and the four valley villages. Historical: the 2027 track page links a GPX whose filename explicitly identifies the 2026 start from Corvara. The file returned HTTP 403 at this check, so its actual contents were not inspected and no workaround was attempted. It supplies no verified 2027 line, distance, ascent or access permission; no GPX, route tracing or organiser artwork is reproduced.
Current rules require partners to remain no more than 20 metres apart and leave designated skin-change areas together, without outside assistance there. They require withdrawal to be reported to the nearest transition or race official, forbid a partner continuing alone and say the organisation arranges the return of withdrawn or excluded teams. Unconfirmed: the actual pickup points, wait, accessible transport and destination for an individual withdrawal are not established.
Historical: Egil’s genuine February 2006 photograph shows snowy buildings and a street in Arabba; the file’s EXIF gives 20 February 2006. This is host-village context, not the 2027 race, its start gate or current snow and access. Original JPEG retained; responsive display crops under CC BY 2.5.
Conflicting sources: the detailed organiser programme lists race closure at 00:45 and the pasta party until 01:00 on 20 March, while the linked ENDU edition’s embedded end time is 23:00 on 19 March (22:00 UTC). This record includes 20 March to preserve the organiser’s announced overnight programme; confirm the final race timing and return rather than relying on the shorter platform entry.
The current rules describe teams of two, with every participant at least 18 on race day. Partners must stay within 20 metres, leave transitions together and withdraw together; continuing alone is prohibited. The entries page requires a race-day-valid sports medical certificate, and the rules require identity documentation at bib collection. Unconfirmed: the accepted certificate form and each athlete’s insurance, eligibility and final documentation must be settled with the organiser before entry.

The published timetable.
Friday, March 19, 2027
Race office · organiser’s announced window
The programme names the church-square area in Arabba/Fodom for the race office and an 11:00 jury meeting. Conflicting sources: the organiser’s homepage, 2027 programme and Italian rules place the start and finish in Arabba/Fodom, while its English rules and linked ENDU registration metadata name Corvara/Alta Badia. This guide’s Arabba point is a programme reference, not a verified assembly point; confirm final instructions before travel.Friday, March 19, 2027
Starting lines and night team start
The programme locates check-in at Sorieghe (Portavescovo Funivie) and describes an 18:00 Arabba departure. These are published planning claims, subject to final instructions and the venue conflict. Unconfirmed: the exact gate, access route, queue arrangements and assisted arrival have not been verified.Friday, March 19, 2027
Published Canazei, Selva and Corvara cut-offs
The programme lists gate closures at Canazei 19:35, Selva 21:20 and Corvara 22:50, consistent with the rules’ elapsed limits from 18:00. Conflicting sources: the same programme’s predicted athlete-passage windows extend beyond these gates, to 19:45, 21:30 and 23:05 respectively. Follow the gate limits and officials, not a predicted passage window.Friday, March 19, 2027
Pasta party and awards · announced programme
The programme places the pasta party in the pavilion by the church from 22:00 to 01:00 and official awards at 23:30. Unconfirmed: participant inclusions, public admission, capacity and any separate food charge are not established; this is not a ticket or catering offer.Saturday, March 20, 2027
Overnight gates and finish
The programme lists the Campolongo road gate at 00:10 and race closure at 00:45 after the Friday start. These fall on Saturday 20 March in local time. Conflicting sources: its predicted Campolongo passage window runs to 00:20, after the 00:10 gate. The programme’s Arabba finish remains subject to the separate Corvara/Arabba venue conflict; confirm the final briefing and return arrangements.03 / TICKETS & BROADCAST
Attend with the live instructions.
11 January 2027 opening announced · actual entry availability unverified
Team entry · published organiser fee €160 per pair; no spectator product verified. The organiser’s entries page and rules publish €160 per team. The rules state no fee refund if the event is cancelled or postponed, and describe a requested 50% refund using a deadline of 20 days before the event, with no refund after that deadline. Confirm the applicable terms before paying; the office’s published entry fee is not a verified checkout total. Conflicting sources: the organiser announces entry opening on 11 January 2027 at about 18:00, while the linked ENDU edition’s embedded service metadata already labels registrations open from March 2026. A service flag does not verify a payable place. Unconfirmed: current availability, final checkout charges, complete transaction terms and acceptance of an individual application have not been established; no payment or personal data was submitted. Historical: the same entries page retains 2026 and 2024 entrant lists and a 2 March 2025 waiting-list instruction. Its 550-team/450-open/100-reserved headings do not verify remaining 2027 places or a new waiting-list date.

The programme announces streaming from 18:00. Unconfirmed: the final 2027 player, availability, territorial rights and complete coverage have not been verified.

Official broadcast hub04 / SPECTATOR ACCESS
The pin is not the gate.
Conflicting sources: the organiser’s homepage, 2027 programme and Italian rules place the start and finish in Arabba/Fodom, while its English rules and linked ENDU registration metadata name Corvara/Alta Badia. This guide’s Arabba point is a programme reference, not a verified assembly point; confirm final instructions before travel. The named Arabba village point comes from OpenStreetMap, © OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL. It is not a course, parking or accessible entrance map.
Use the organiser’s current programme to choose a village viewing location and confirm the venue before booking. The organiser recommends accommodation at the start locality and says teams arrange their own accommodation. Unconfirmed: dated outward/overnight return buses, road and pass closures, event parking, reservations and the complete late-night journey are not verified. Ordinary daytime ski transport does not establish a race-night return.
Unconfirmed: final public viewing zones, spectator admission, pedestrian or lift access, toilets and step-free or assisted transfers are not established. The village point and old street photograph do not prove an accessible approach. Ask about the complete outward and return journey, keep emergency routes clear and follow officials instead of walking onto the course.
