Nearly 1,000 athletes took part on Sunday, July 3, in the 10th edition of the Tre Campanili Half Marathon<\/strong>, one of the most prestigious mountain half marathons not only in the Brescia area: The race, sponsored by Oxyburn<\/strong>\u2014 which also provided the splendid race packet<\/strong>\u2014saw Ivana Iozzia take first<\/strong> place<\/strong> among<\/strong> women and twelfth overall, while Said Boudalia finished fourth; both are members of Team Oxyburn<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

In the men\u2019s race, Paul Kariuki Mwangi<\/strong>\u2014who finished ahead of the overwhelming favorite Robert Panin Saurum<\/strong>\u2014and Francesco Puppi<\/strong> took the top three spots on the podium, but Said Boudalia, with an excellent performance, managed to finish fourth overall with a time of 1h30’50”, also taking first place in the SM45 category<\/strong>. The Italian-Moroccan athlete, despite the approximately 15k of uphill terrain interspersed with tough, steep descents, ran a top-notch race from start to finish: on his feet were his trusty Oxyburn graduated compression socks, which proved extremely useful during races of this difficulty, despite the intense heat<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

But the heroine of the 10th Tre Campanili Half Marathon was<\/strong>, without a doubt, Ivana Iozzia<\/strong>, who had recently returned to competition after overcoming a serious illness and who, with a time of 1h39’11”, finished a full 4’59” ahead of Gloria Giudici and 8’07” ahead of the two-time Passatore winner, Croatian Nikolina Sustic<\/strong>. The top Oxyburn<\/strong> athlete, improving her time by 39” compared to the 2014 edition\u2014in which she had finished second\u2014was unfazed by the challenging climbs or the heat, outpacing a specialist of Gloria Giudici\u2019s caliber, who recently placed third at the Italian Relay Championships. She wore Oxyburn\u2019s technical graduated compression apparel<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

Rounding out the Oxyburn event at Tre Campanili in Vestone, the generous race pack<\/strong> included both a pair of High Compression<\/strong> short socks \u2014the 1465 Trail-Run Half-Cut lightweight model\u2014and two custom wristbands, both in black\/lizard and supplied by the Brescia-based company<\/strong> to the Valsabbia organizers. The connection between the Valsabbia Half Marathon and, more broadly, between trail running and Oxyburn is, in fact, a bond that has existed for years and grows stronger with each edition<\/strong>, and which has helped make the Tre Campanili\u2026 the Tre Campanili!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
