The Ultner Höfelauf (Ulten Valley Farm Run; Italian: Corsa dei masi della Val d'Ultimo) is a multi-terrain running event held yearly in the summer in the autonomous province of Südtirol (South Tyrol; Italian: Alto Adige) in the far north of Italy.
The start and the finish are in the village of Kuppelwies (Pracupola) which sits at an elevation of 1,145 metres in the 40km-long Ultental (Val d'Ultimo), a green alpine valley that leads from Lana (near the spa town of Merano), to the foot of the impressive Ortler Alps.
Almost everybody living in the Ulten Valley is a native speaker of German.
The event offers the following race distances:
- 100m - 500m - 1km for children
- 8.5km for runners
- 8.5km for hikers and nordic walkers
- 8km+8.5km relay for teams of two runners
- 18km for runners
Starting and finishing at the Zoggler-Stausee (Lago di Zoccolo), a 3km-long reservoir, both the 8.5km and the 18km routes are challenging and scenic loop courses which pass many picturesque wooden farm buildings.
The 8.5km course includes approximately 180 metres of ascent. The 18km race features almost 500 metres of ascent.
Entrants to the 18km race must be in possession of a valid medical certificate for athletics if they are not registered with a sports club that is affiliated to an athletics federation recognized by World Athletics (IAAF).
