Molveno

The pearl of the Brenta Dolomites

The area

You are at the entrance of the Brenta Dolomites, in front of you the mountain peaks are mirrored in the deep blue waters of Lake Molveno.
The landscape is enchanting thanks to the surrounding green expanses of fir and beech forests.
You are in Molveno, a beautiful town on the shores of the Lake of the same name, 864 m above sea level.

Come to Molveno!

Interesting facts about Molveno

To become a champion you need to be born in Molveno.
What does this mean? With just over a thousand inhabitants, it has produced numerous young sports champions at the highest level in several sports: paragliding, Nordic skiing, Alpine skiing and mountain running.
Could it be due to the air and healthy cuisine?

Lake Molveno

Lake Molveno is a concentration of blue with all the other colours surrounding it.
Colours vary according to nature and the seasons, and when combined create a magic difficult to replicate anywhere else.
This is where, many of the summer and water sport activities are concentrated: the beach is considered the most beautiful in Trentino, because of the extensive, well-kept English lawn on the lakeshore.
The lake is perfect for bathing as the water temperature during the summer season ranges from 14 to 21 degrees. Bring your dog, you'll both have fun in the water, there's only a short stretch of beach near the harbour where this is forbidden.
Lake Molveno is the ideal habitat for the Salmerino Alpino (Artic Char), a precious fish that lives only in deep, fresh and clean waters, just like these!   

Our special tip

You must try at least once to go all around the lake so that you don't miss breathtaking views such as the full view of Molveno lying at the foot of the Brenta Dolomites.
In this way you'll also discover small, less popular beaches.
It will take about two and a half hours on foot, walking at a regular pace, if cycling from the harbour to the other end of the lake it will take you about an hour. If you're feeling lazy then go on a motor boat and take all the time you want!

The "Anderlesi", the inhabitants of Andalo, are very busy and enthusiastic people. To remind everyone who passes through here and to celebrate this way of life, there is a bronze monument displayed in Piazza Centrale of a woodcutter in a dynamic pose intent on doing his job, with an axe in one hand and a piece of wood in the other.
The work of art is inspired by the famous saying "Ntant che pòlsest va a tagliar su legna" (while you rest chop a bit of wood!) and incorporates their way of dealing with life, their industriousness and their strong sense of identity.

Swim

Swim course is "M" shaped with start on the left side of the beach facing the lake.
After a first buoy you will swim back to the beach for the Australian exit and jump back in the water from the pontoon for the second loop.

Water should be between 16°C to 19°C according to data from previous years. It is expected to be flat but it could be choppy in the event of windy conditions.

The official water temperature will be taken at 9am on race morning, one-hour before the start of the elite race.
According to conditions, the head referee from Italian federation will follow World Triathlon rules

Start zone check-in: 09:50 (Elites) | 11:00-11:15 (Age Groupers)

Cut-off exit T1: 12:25

Bike

The bike course is a 2-lap course of 16K each.

After a first 3K flat loop around the lake on a narrow single track (be patient if you are stuck in the traffic, you will have plenty of time to make the difference in the following uphill…), the course rises for the next 7 kilometers with a mix of large gravel trail and some more rocky, steeper parts, sometimes with rocks, to hit the highest point of the course at kilometer 10.

From that point it will only be downhill until the end of the loop, with a first part quite easy with good grip and a second part more technical with roots and rocks that can be slippery in rainy conditions before riding through Molveno village and getting into the field of play with wooden ramps and all the spectators cheering you on.

Please check the bike course review by Nico Lebrun on Youtube

Please note that considering the weather forecast for the following days the bike course will be closed for recon starting from Thursday 12:00 in order to preserve its integrity.  Thank you for your understanding.

Download the GPX file.

Important note: During recon, do not ride or run uphill on Blade Runners Track or Goonies Trail. These are downhill only!

Cut-off first lap: 14:25
Cut-off exit T2: 16:30

Run

The run course starts with a very fast 1.5K section on tarmac and fire road where you will need speed. The course then turns right to enter a tight steep 300m-long climbing single track that will break your legs and heart rate for sure. Exiting this physical and technical section, the course turns left to find a rolling fire road until the aid station located half way. From this point the course is only going down alternating single tracks and steep technical sections, sometimes rocky or rootsy, before finally reaching the lake shore for the last kilometer.... of the first lap!

Download the GPX file.

Please note that in 2024 the run course will be carried out in the opposite direction to previous years.

Swim course is single-lapped with start on the left side of the beach facing the lake.

Water should be between 16°C to 19°C according to data from previous years. It is expected to be flat but it could be choppy in the event of windy conditions.

The official water temperature will be taken at 9am on race morning, one-hour before the start of the elite race.
According to conditions, the head referee from Italian federation will follow World Triathlon rules

Water temperature update: On Sept. 26, FITRI officials checked the water temperature in Lake Molveno for the Short Track race at one-meter deep and it was 14.5°.

Cut-off exit T1: 12:30 (Open Sprint)

Bike

The bike course is a single-lap course of 16K identical to the Full Distance race.

After a first 3K flat loop around the lake on a narrow single track (be patient if you are stuck in the traffic, you will have plenty of time to make the difference in the following uphill…), the course rises for the next 7 kilometers with a mix of large gravel trail and some more rocky, steeper parts, sometimes with rocks, to hit the highest point of the course at kilometer 10.

From that point it will only be downhill until the end of the loop, with a first part quite easy with good grip and a second part more technical with roots and rocks that can be slippery in rainy conditions before riding through Molveno village and getting into the field of play with wooden ramps and all the spectators cheering you on.

Please check the bike course review by Nico Lebrun on Youtube

Please note that considering the weather forecast for the following days the bike course will be closed for recon starting from Thursday 12:00 in order to preserve its integrity.  Thank you for your understanding.

Download the GPX file.

Important note: During recon, do not ride or run uphill on Blade Runners Track or Goonies Trail. These are downhill only!

Cut-off exit T2: 15:00 (Open Sprint)

Run

The run course starts with a very fast 1.5K section on tarmac and fire road where you will need speed. The course then turns right to enter a tight steep 300m-long climbing single track that will break your legs and heart rate for sure. Exiting this physical and technical section, the course turns left to find a rolling fire road until the aid station located half way. From this point the course is only going down alternating single tracks and steep technical sections, sometimes rocky or rootsy, before finally reaching the lake shore for the last kilometer.

Please note that in 2024 the run course will be carried out in the opposite direction to previous years.

Sustainability

XTERRA is proud to have a continued commitment to sustainable racing as we strive to reduce our carbon footprint, minimise our environmental impact, and protect the places we play.

In an effort to minimise the use of plastics at the World Championship event, only biodegradable cups and reusable water tanks will be used at aid stations, the finish line, and the recovery area, plastic course marking tape will be replaced by recyclable flags, and finishers will be presented with a trophy carved from recycled wood.

We urge all participants, family, and friends to join us in doing our part to leave no trace in the beautiful venue provided by the Molveno community.

Bring your own cup, choose bikes over cars, share rides where possible, avoid unnecessary plastics and waste, and please use the recycle bins available on site.

Together, we can create better races for the planet.
