The Südtirol Drei Zinnen Alpine Run is a highly-scenic and challenging mountain race held annually in the Sexten Dolomites in the province of South Tyrol (German: Südtirol; Italian: Alto Adige) in the far north of Italy, near the border with Austria.

Starting at an elevation of 1,320 metres in the resort of Sexten (Italian: Sesto) where about 92 percent of the residents speak German as a first language, the race course is 17.9 kilometres long. It includes 1,354 metres of ascent.

The finish line is at 2,405 metres above sea level at the Locatelli Hut (Dreizinnenhütte; Rifugio Locatelli) which offers stunning views of the famous Three Peaks of Lavaredo (Drei Zinnen; Tre Cime di Lavaredo).

Entrants must provide a valid medical certificate at registration if they are not registered with a sports club that is recognized by World Athletics.
