More and more running enthusiasts are setting aside their road running shoes on Sundays and swapping them for more aggressive, high-grip trail running shoes, choosing to take on not a classic 21k or a marathon, but a mountain race. Characterized by significant elevation gains, singletrack, and unpaved terrain, an increasing number of trail races are being held in the mountains of our country<\/strong>. This is one of the reasons why more and more innovative and high-performance gear is being developed every day\u2014gear designed not for road running, but specifically for trail running: Among the companies that were among the first to recognize the needs of trail runners is Oxyburn, which has designed an entire line of graduated compression apparel specifically tailored for mountain running<\/strong>. <\/p>\n

But where should I go running on Sunday, February 7? It\u2019s worth noting that winter isn\u2019t exactly the best season for trail running; it\u2019s much better suited for cross-country. Even so, there\u2019s no shortage of trail running races to sign up for right now. <\/p>\n

It\u2019s not exactly a trail race, but the third stage of the 2016 Trofeo Neveazzurra<\/strong>\u2014the Ciaspolata della Valle Antrona<\/strong>, a snowshoe race to be held on Sunday, February 7, in Antrona Piana\/Cheggio\u2014is certainly worth mentioning: Following the two successful stages in Magugnaga and San Domenico di Varzo\u2014and the two canceled stages in Valle Bognanco and Piana di Vigezzo\u2014we\u2019re hoping there will be enough snow to allow the race to take place.
\nAs part of the 37th edition of \u201cDal fiume Serchio ai Monti Pisani<\/strong>,\u201d a recreational running event featuring various distances, the Trail del Monte Penna<\/strong> will also take place\u2014a non-competitive mountain race covering 26 kilometers<\/strong> with 950 meters of elevation gain<\/strong>, starting at 8:30 a.m.<\/p>\n

But on Sunday, February 7, there will also be a race in Sicily, specifically within the Monte Cofano Nature Reserve \u2013 Custonaci, in the province of Trapani, where the second edition of the Cofano Trail<\/strong> will take place\u2014a fascinating 24k mountain race with a total elevation gain and loss of 1,280 meters.<\/p>\n

But that\u2019s not all! For ultratrail enthusiasts, the 6 Ore Pastrengo Trail Fest<\/strong> will take place on Saturday, February 6, in Pastrengo (Verona), just a stone\u2019s throw from Lake Garda: featuring a highly technical loop course with 250 meters of elevation gain, the Pastrengo Trail kicks off the season of ultra-distance hour-long races. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
