The Dolomitenmann is an extreme sports relay race held in September in the East Tyrolean, or so-called Dolomite Mountains of Austria, near the city of Lienz.
[6] The race is started by the mountain runner on the town square of Lienz at 674 metres (2,211 ft) above sea level.
[7] When the runner makes the hand-off to the team's paraglider, he must also run, this time with his whole equipment to the first take-off point.
[8] The mountain biker typically climbs 1,600 metres (5,200 ft) or more, over a distance of about 27 kilometres (17 mi).
After the jump the kayaker must navigate a difficult white water track on the river Isel before a last sprint back to the main square of Lienz.
