The UTMB Lavaredo Ultra Trail is a renowned mountain ultramarathon held annually in the Dolomites around Cortina d’Ampezzo, Italy — one of the most breathtaking landscapes in Europe.

Sports Medicine Doctor • Athlete • Founder & Medical Director at Fit Certify
I’m Simon — a UK and US-trained sports and exercise medicine doctor, family physician, GP, academic researcher, and the founder of Fit Certify. For the past few years, I’ve been leading a team of sports doctors who specialise in medical certification for endurance athletes competing in major events across Europe.
As someone who runs trails and takes on big mountain challenges myself, I know how much work goes into preparing for a race like the Lavaredo Ultra Trail by UTMB — the long training blocks, the travel logistics, and the mental preparation. The last thing you need is to get held up by medical paperwork when you’re so close to the start line.
That’s why Fit Certify exists: to make the process fast, simple, and aligned with event requirements, so nothing stops you from picking up your bib and getting into the Dolomites.
If you need advice or run into any issues, just drop us an email at hello@fitcertify.com — we’ll make sure you’re supported.
