Dole Italia brings its bananas to the athletes of the 24th Garda Trentino Half Marathon

Dole Italia has announced its participation as official supplier of the 24th Garda Trentino Half Marathon, taking place on 8 November 2026.

Among the area's most popular running events, the event attracts numerous runners every year in an exceptional scenic setting. The programme includes the traditional half marathon of 21,097 km, the 10K and the Run4Fun of 4 km, alongside the Garda Kids Run, dedicated to younger children and scheduled for Saturday 7 November. An event that combines sport and nature, passing through the evocative landscapes of Alto Garda, between Riva del Garda, Arco, Torbole and the Sarca River.

Dole Italia will be present along the route with its bananas, offering athletes a natural source of energy that is practical to consume and rich in nutrients useful to those who engage in physical activity.

Thanks to their carbohydrate content, bananas contribute to the energy intake needed to cope with exertion, while potassium supports normal muscle function. Easy to digest and convenient to carry, a banana is an ideal choice before the race, to replenish energy; during it, to sustain exertion during prolonged activities; and afterwards, to help replenish expended energy, as part of a varied and balanced diet.

With this first collaboration, Dole Italia strengthens its connection with the world of sport and renews its commitment to promoting greater dietary awareness, supporting an event capable of involving athletes, families and enthusiasts and showcasing one of the most fascinating areas of Trentino.
