Lavaredo Ultra Trail by UTMB 2026 Results: Namberger Sets New Record at 11:45, Budha 10th Overall, Reiterer-Geiser Tie
Friday night, June 27, 2026, Corso Italia, Cortina d’Ampezzo — the 19th edition of La Sportiva Lavaredo Ultra Trail by UTMB wraps up a historic weekend of racing in the Dolomites. The headline story of the 2026 edition: Hannes Namberger (🇩🇪 Dynafit) claims his third 120K victory in 11:45:31 — a new course record, beating Ben Dhiman’s mark (11:49:16, set in 2025). The German erases both his own 2021 record (11:57:15) and Dhiman’s. Second place produced a rare moment in trail running: a dead-heat tie — Andreas Reiterer and Tobias Geiser crossed the line at the exact same time (11:55:26), officially classified joint 2nd! On the women’s side, the breakout story of the edition: Sunmaya Budha (🇳🇵 Kailas Fuga Team) won in 13:33:18 — 10th overall — the first Nepalese victory in this race’s history. On the 80K, Poland’s Bart Przedwojewski (Salomon) took the win in 7:40:30, ahead of France’s Robin Juillaguet (+11:01) — while Iceland’s Elísa Kristinsdóttir won the women’s 80K in 8:59:57 (9th overall!), with France’s Marie Goncalves (ASICS) finishing 2nd.

Lavaredo 120K Men — Namberger’s new record, Reiterer/Geiser tied for 2nd
After losing his course record to Ben Dhiman in 2025 (11:49:16), Hannes Namberger (🇩🇪 Dynafit, 35-39M) returned to the Dolomites to deliver a stunning performance: 11:45:31, a new course record, erasing Dhiman’s mark by 3 minutes and 45 seconds. It’s his third victory at this race (2021, 2024, 2026). Running on fumes after Col Gallina by his own admission, he gambled everything: “After Col Gallina I had nothing in my tank but I went through this, I risked everything.” The rest of the men’s race produced one of the rarest outcomes in the sport: a dead-heat tie for 2nd between Andreas Reiterer (🇮🇹 La Sportiva, 20-34M) and Tobias Geiser (🇮🇹 DYNAFIT, 35-39M), both clocking 11:55:26 — 9:55 behind Namberger. Geiser had previously won the Lavaredo 120K back in 2022! On the French side, a strong collective showing: Clément Mugnier (🇫🇷 CDS Méribel / TDR Albertville, 7th, 13:12:33), Fabien Feutrier (🇫🇷, 8th, 13:16:19) and Leo Rogaume (🇫🇷 Annecy Athlétisme / Kailas FUGA, 9th, 13:28:44) — three Frenchmen in the men’s top 10!

The story — A night in the Dolomites
The 120K sets off at 11pm from Corso Italia in Cortina d’Ampezzo, under the stars and to the strains of the legendary “The Ecstasy of Gold” by Ennio Morricone. Namberger took the lead early and never relinquished it. His attack at Col Gallina (km 97.5) — the most committing point on the course — sealed the race for good. Reiterer and Geiser, who had run together in the German’s wake, couldn’t close the gap. Their simultaneous finish — a single shared second on the official clock — stands as one of the defining moments of the edition. On the women’s side, Sunmaya Budha confirmed that Nepal’s emergence in trail running is very real, delivering a time and an overall ranking of the highest caliber in what is considered one of the most demanding mountain ultras in Europe.
