THE AVIREX HERO CHALLENGE RETURNS FOR THE 2025 HERO DOLOMITES
Dear HERO,
Winter is just around the corner – but when has that ever stopped us? Indeed, we’re already preparing for the 15th edition of the HERO Südtirol Dolomites on 14 June 2025.
A milestone we’re looking forward to celebrating with you! While we still can’t reveal much, what we can already confirm is the return of the AVIREX HERO CHALLENGE, now in its 3rd edition –our heroes will have to fight against the clock in this race within the race.
All the prizes for the overall winners and finishers of the Challenge will be AVIREX branded!
The challenge
The 86 km and 71 km courses will share one ranking for the same stretch of the route: cyclists will have to complete the Zallinger climb (3.5 km and 300 hm) within18 minutes (élite athletes), 21 minutes (Men’s Masters), or 27 minutes (Women’s Master/Hobby athletes).
The 60 km course will see AVIREX hopefuls start from the Lupo Bianco, and the challenge will end once at Passo Sella (3.6 km and 510 hm). Men élite athletes will have 45 minutes to complete the challenge, while the women élite athletes, hobby and master cyclists will have 50 minutes.
All 2025 BMW HERO Südtirol Dolomites participants will automatically be entered into the Challenge. Datasport will track individual times, which will be available on the Datasport app.
