Alpe Adria Ultra Trail · Race Pack 2026
Three objects designed to be used and kept.
No frills, no special effects: a lightweight and functional neck warmer, a metal medal for race finishers, and a badge for those completing the Jôf di Dogna.
Lightweight, breathable, suitable for summer.
Even with the minimum price entry fee, this year we've decided to include a neck warmer in the race pack anyway.
It is made from a lighter and softer fabric than classic promotional products: very breathable, compact, and genuinely useful during running, walking, and high-altitude transfers.
A metal medal, cast and enamelled.
All finishers will receive a medal made from quality materials and craftsmanship.
It's not a sheet metal print: it's a solid object, designed to last and to correctly represent the value of the milestone achieved.
A badge for those who complete the Jôf.
For those participating in the Jôf 27 or Jôf 48, it will be sufficient to complete the Jôf di Dogna to receive this badge, even without being a finisher of the full race.
Volunteers and collaborators who have completed the Jôf will also receive it. It is a simple, but concrete, sign of an important passage through the Julian Alps.

Monte Schenone – Lipnik Loop
A technical and scenic ring to get to know an important part of the Jôf.
Mincigos Ring
Steep ascent from Dogna, descent through beech forest and passage through the village of Mincigos.
Isn't 27 km 27 km? Isn't 48 km 48 km?
We know: we've made some improvements to the route.
Don't worry: the overall effort remains consistent with the race, but the terrain is easier on the descent and the added section makes the route smoother and more logical.
Read what has changed →A race for the few. Don't call it a skyrace.
Skyraces usually repeat the same course, have narrow gates and many volunteers along the route. The aim is to push people to run faster and faster: safety guaranteed by the widespread presence, but penalised by the imposed pace.
Ours is not a skyrace.
If you are looking for tight gates, continuous support and an identical course every year, this is not the race for you. We give you more time, and ask you to approach the race not with your eye on the time alone, but primarily on the beauty and technicality of the terrain.
Our commitment is to give every year: tracks that are always different, an organisation that is ready to intervene when needed and the autonomy required of competitors between support points. These are the principles of the old high mountain trail, different from the Sky.
Signing up for this distance will give you a unique, perhaps unrepeatable track.
The first 6 km are killer: about 1,900 m of positive altitude difference in 6 km, with an average time of 3h30'. Exposed sections, almost vertical passages, challenging terrain and breathtaking views.
This is followed by a descent that is first technical and then very fast, then a second part of the race that is still wild but very smooth.
There are no via ferratas. You will find ropes in some places, a 90 cm walkway and several passages that require attention and the ability to handle the terrain. This is a test for experienced mountain runners with the right head for an authentic experience, not for those who just want to rack up the altitude and minutes.
Travel times are calculated with reference to the CAI tables.
Come and enjoy a unique experience: if you've got legs, there's a good 50% course to run.
Jof di Dogna (km 0 -> km 14)
Hospitality
In addition to the partner facilities, it is possible to sleep in the guesthouse, with a cot and in a shared environment. The option to book the guesthouse is available from your runner profile, accessible after registration.The finish and start area has ample parking facilities
If you are registered for the Jof and Ultra Jof, the advice is to sleep in a hostel on the start line. Here, too, all info can be found in your runner profile. Please note that the shuttle service is only from arrival to departure as parking is not easy in Dogna.
UN Un
Competitive and Non-competitive
What is the difference? When is the medical certificate needed? A medical certificate is required for certain distances for two reasons: because it is required by law, but above all to protect your health as the routes can be demanding and require good training and fitness.
Check the competitions:
Without a medical certificate:
They are non-competitive, i.e. they have a finishing order with time but no ranking. The route can also be tackled in a playful motor spirit and without necessarily experiencing it competitively.
Only with a medical certificate:
They are competitive, although the maximum times allow for walking, and have a ranking valid for iTRA and UTMB purposes. A medical certificate is required, except in cases of exemption:
❗️EVEN IF YOU ARE EXEMPT FROM UPLOADING THE CERTIFICATE, YOU MUST BE AWARE OF THE PHYSICAL COMMITMENT RESULTING FROM THE TEST YOU WILL BE FACING AND WE STILL SUGGEST YOU UNDERGO REGULAR MEDICAL CHECK-UPS ❗️
Even without a medical certificate:
It is possible to participate in both modes. If you do not upload your medical certificate, you can participate but will not be entered in the ranking.
There is a medal for all participants who finish: both competitive and non-competitive
