La Thuile Trail

Una gara da non sottovalutare: arrivare alla fine della prima salita con ancora energie fa la differenza.

Panorami fantastici, anche grazie ad un bel 2800mt come quota di picco.

Organizzazione sufficiente, niente di esagerato ma neanche trascurata.

Punti attrezzati “simpatici”, non adatti a deboli di cuore. Mi stupisce che l’organizzazione si prenda una tale responsabilità.

Le discese sono metá corribili e metá tecniche, sfidanti senza arrivare ad esaurirti la pazienza.

Premio finisher deludente (t-shirt di cotone) considerando fosse il decimo anniversario, e 90€ di iscrizione :)

Pasta party di buona qualità.

Buone corse a tutti!

beautiful race, probably the best landscape ever seen in a race

Spectacular Race, with very technical terrain. Starting with a long and steep climb the route reaches a high-altitude section alternating between runnable stretches and technical, exposed zones. It features a snowfield with fixed ropes and small rock drops equipped with fixed ropes and metal steps in a highly exposed area. The race guide did not describe this well, referring to it simply as a ‘secured exposed section.’ Unfortunately, some participants DNFed because they felt unprepared for this specific part. A brief yet more detailed description of the difficulty—despite the section being short and manned by staff—would have been useful to ensure runners were fully aware. The views here are amazing, right in front of Monte Bianco. After this technical section the Trail becomes easier to run, with a last short and steep climb then descending to the valley. The Aid stations and refreshments are few and quite distant from each other, but the volunteer are really kind and available. Overall it is a beautiful but hard race.
