HERO WORLD SERIES: "WORLD CLASS" MOUNTAIN BIKING

A few hours after the conclusion of the 2019 edition, a great novelty has been announced for 2020 of the HERO Südtirol Dolomites: the new international circuit of HERO World Series races. Born in the Dolomites, the race format of the world's toughest mountain bike marathon will be repeated on two other dates in locations with a strong exotic appeal, and where, after having measured yourself on the breathtaking climbs of the Sella group, you can now challenge the innovative trails across the Dubai desert and experience the joys of biking across the lush nature of Thailand.

From 6 to 8 February 2020, Dubai will host the first edition of HERO Dubai in the town of Hatta. Home to the national reserve and an area that allows a glimpse into the authentic culture of the Emirates, the territory of Hatta is striking for the atmosphere that only the desert is able to convey in its natural authenticity. The marathon route is on a 72 km circuit with 2,240 metres of altitude difference and is open to all bikers. Alongside the proposal of Dubai, the HERO World Series circuit extends even further east with the third stage being held in Thailand, and more precisely in the locality of Chiang Rai. It will host the event from 8 to 10 October 2020.

Naturally, the HERO WORLDS SERIES circuit will take in the Dolomites, the place where it all started ten years ago. The date set for the 2020 edition is Saturday 20 June 20 and this will be the 11th edition of the HERO Südtirol Dolomites.
