HERO Charity Night presented by Generali-Cattolica: let the show begin!

Dear HEROes,
As tradition goes, the HERO Charity Night presented by Generali-Cattolica will open the four days of the HERO Bike Festival on Thursday, 11 June, officially kicking off the HERO Südtirol Dolomites 2026.

The evening will be a special occasion to celebrate the race and bring together the HERO community in an atmosphere charged with adrenaline, set against the enchanting backdrop of the Medal Plaza in Selva Val Gardena. Here, a story of passion for mountain biking, shared energy, and anticipation for Saturday’s great challenge will come to life.
The guiding theme of the 2026 edition will be resilience: the ability to face difficulties, rise again, and transform challenges into opportunities for growth. A profound value that belongs to the mountains just as much as to the athletes taking on the HERO Südtirol Dolomites.

Making the evening even more emotional will be the performance of Kataklò Group, an internationally renowned company that combines contemporary dance, acrobatics, aerial disciplines, and physical theatre. Their choreography will create a visually stunning show, perfectly aligned with the theme of resilience.
Alongside the performance, there will also be space for a powerful testimony of inner strength: that of Fabio Radrizzani, the athlete who completed the HERO Südtirol Dolomites in 2025 riding with just one leg. His story is a true example of determination and the ability to overcome one’s limits.

The meeting between Kataklò’s art and Radrizzani’s story will create an intense and meaningful HERO Charity Night, combining sport, performance, solidarity, and inspiration. A moment we know will touch your hearts and give you energy for the challenge ahead.

In the Dolomites, every story of resilience finds its echo: be inspired and live your own.
