Official timekeeper of the Red Bull Dolomitenmann

The world's toughest mountain relay competition - Mountain running, paragliding, mountain biking and kayaking

The Red Bull Dolomitenmann is a comprehensive relay competition held in Lienz, East Tyrol, Austria. The 39th edition of this legendary event in 2026 features 400
participants. The challenging course includes a 12 kilometer mountain run at an altitude of over 2’000 meters, a paragliding flight from a high alpine point at 2’441 meters with a landing in the Dolomite Stadium, a 32 kilometer mountain biking segment with a total elevation gain of 1’600 meters, and a six-kilometer-long kayak regatta culminating in a final 500 meter sprint to Lienz's main square. These demanding elements constitute the key components of this remarkable competition.

The unofficial world championship of extreme sports

Established in 1988, this competition is unique in that it exclusively operates as a team event, emphasizing the need for extreme sports enthusiasts to collaborate. This distinctive aspect serves as a constant source of motivation and determination for participants, especially when the pressure intensifies.

The challenges faced by competitors are nothing short of grueling. Mountain runners must conquer a daunting 2’000 meter altitude gain, while paragliders not only have to launch themselves into the air but also restart with their equipment after a stopover and run. Mountain bikers not only contend with uphill battles but also shoulder their bikes as they traverse a Ski World Cup slope before racing downhill into the valley. Finally, canoeists round out the event with a thrilling seven-meter jump into the water and a battle against upstream rapids.
