Charity
The proceeds of the higher price registrations will go to the Association of Groups “Insieme si può”Onlus/NGO (www.365giorni.org), Assisport Alto Adige(www.sporthilfe.it) and the Alex Zanardi BIMBINGAMBA Association (www.bimbingamba.com). These three associations have been friends of the Maratona for many years and we are pleased to be able to contribute, with the help of the competitors, to their commitment to solidarity and support for those in need.
The solidarity project of the Association of Groups "Insieme si può" is connected to people with disabilities in Uganda, one of the poorest countries in the world, where cases of physical impairment are high (according to official estimates approximately 10% of the population).
We intend to provide better access to medical treatment, rehabilitation, food and education, particularly to children and teenagers. We intend to support young people, ensure they receive vocational training,assist them in finding a job, ensure they have access to social services and are included and can participate in family and community life.

After the success of the 2015 race and the popularity with the participants due to the quality of the Castelli-Maratona products, Castelli has renewed its contract with us for another three years. As well as consolidating the collaboration, Castelli will take part in the event, using its strength and energy in great style. The style that befits an Italian brand and world leader and that will guarantee more media growth at all levels at the race through the Dolomites.
