Overview
Taking place in Santarcangelo di Romagna, Italy, this 50k trail race demands sustained speed rather than mountain endurance. With just 180 meters of elevation gain across the 50 kilometers—averaging 3.6 meters of climb per kilometer—the flat profile removes significant climbing obstacles.
However, the 7-hour time limit gives a cutoff pace of 8.4 minutes per kilometer, making it tighter than 94% of 50k cut-offs and more generous than only 6%. Runners cannot afford extended stops or prolonged walking breaks on this fast course.
The event saw 64 finishers in 2026, giving it a field bigger than 65% of 50k fields and smaller than 34%. For a 60 euro entry fee, participants face a continuous running test with virtually no hills to slow the pace.
