More than just races, they are journeys of self-discovery\u2014life experiences that can be more or less strenuous and challenging. Because trail running is, yes, a competition, but above all, a different way of approaching running, immersing oneself in nature. <\/p>\n

Between trail runs and skyruns, the weekend of May 21 and 22 will also be a great one filled with fun and mountain races all over Italy, especially in the central and northern regions. Among the weekend\u2019s events, we\u2019d like to highlight the Teolo Urban Trail\u2014which has been sold out for a few days now\u2014and two fascinating skyraces: the Esino Skyrace and the Sondalo Skyrace.
\nBut if you decide to participate in a trail running race, always remember to check the mandatory gear you need to bring, and study the course before signing up<\/strong>, to make sure it\u2019s suitable for your training level\u2014with sections that are more or less exposed, rope sections, or other features that might prove too difficult to navigate… For example, if you suffer from vertigo, a trail with exposed sections wouldn\u2019t be right for you; similarly, if you don\u2019t have much experience running uphill, it would be \u201crisky\u201d to tackle the 4,000-meter elevation gain of the Raid Col Visentin… But these are simply \u201ccommon sense\u201d recommendations… <\/p>\n

Let\u2019s start with Saturday, the 21st. In Vittorio Veneto, in the province of Treviso, the Raid Col Visentin<\/strong> will feature two courses: a 37k course with 2,500 meters of elevation gain and a 34k course with a whopping 4,000 meters of elevation gain, in Bagnoli della Rosandra, in Trieste, the Jama Run Trail<\/strong> will feature a 13k course with 850 meters of elevation gain; in the province of Parma, in Borgo Val di Taro, the 27-kilometer Quadrifoglio Trail<\/strong> (1,450 meters of elevation gain) will be accompanied by a scenic 13-kilometer Dog Endurance Trail<\/strong> with 700 meters of elevation gain; while in Tuscany, races will take place in both Murlo, Siena\u2014where the Murlo Trail Terra Etrusca<\/strong> will take place, featuring a 30k course with 1,209m of elevation gain and a 15k course with 653m of elevation gain\u2014and in Montopoli Val d\u2019Arno, Pisa, where the Trofeo Agriturismo Montalto<\/strong> will feature three courses\u201410k, 5k, and 2k\u2014with extremely modest elevation gains. <\/p>\n

On Sunday, the 22nd, most of the trail running races will take place: It starts with the Trail del Borbotto<\/strong> in Castagneto d\u2019Andrea, Florence, featuring two courses\u201435k and 18k\u2014with significant elevation gains ranging from 2,250m to 1,250m, and continues with the Trail della Valmeduna<\/strong>, Pordenone, a 27k race with 1,600m of elevation gain; the Sondalo Skyrace<\/strong> in Sondrio, a 23k race with a substantial 1,600 meters of elevation gain; the Trail Rensendi<\/strong>Arenzano in Genoa, featuring a 23k course and a 10k course;the Esino Skyrace<\/strong>, featuring a 22k SkyRun<\/strong> with 1,760m of elevation gain and a 14k Trail<\/strong> with 850m of elevation gain, and the \u201cUn Gir per Bursan\u201d Trail<\/strong> in Reggio Emilia, a 21k race with 700 meters of elevation gain.<\/p>\n

But there will also be numerous races under 20 kilometers, such asthe May Urban Trail in<\/strong> Feriole di Teolo\u2014which has been sold out for about ten days\u2014and which will take place within the Euganean Hills Regional Park, covering 19 kilometers with 800 meters of elevation gain, the Trail dei Monti Picentini<\/strong> in Montoro, Avellino\u201418 km with 1,300 meters of elevation gain\u2014the Galero Trail<\/strong> in Nasino, Savona\u2014also 18 km, but with 1,300 meters of elevation gain\u2014andthe Etrurian Trail<\/strong> in Cerveteri, Rome, 18 km with 1,000 meters of elevation gain, the Velenosa<\/strong> in Bolzano Bellunese, a picturesque 14k with 1,000m of elevation gain on mixed terrain; the Marcia dei Tori<\/strong> in Ospitale Fanano, Modena, 13k with 740m of elevation gain; and the Jack Canali Trophy<\/strong> in Albavilla, Como\u2014a 6.7k mini-trail with a significant 882 meters of elevation gain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
