Trails of the Month - January 2017

Let's have a quick overview of the Trail La Corsa Della Bora, that led you to discover unexpected paths between Italy and Slovenia, and the well-known Vibram® Hong Kong 100 Ultra-Trail®, part of the Ultra-Trail® World Tour, that welcomed a lot of top runners at the start line on the 14th of January !

 

La Corsa Della Bora - Italy / Slovenia

The Trail Corsa Delle Bora offers you a view of the magnificent Gulf of Trieste between Italy and Slovenia, in an alternation of fast terrain, steep ascents, fast descends reminding the Dolomites, and breathtaking views over a turquoise sea. A tough path, full of surprises. Lashed by Bora wind, or kissed by an almost spring sun, you overlook the see in a beautiful Alpine scenario.

S1 Trail (about 53 Km for 2000m D+) and S1 Half (21 Km for 400m D+) are two challenging distances accessible by most of trail runners, also for those new to this sport. Both races offer a varied course, with fast sections in alternation with technical points and a necessary number of refreshment and assistance points. Path markings are widespread and don’t leave room for doubt to which path to take. You can’t get lost !

          

S1 Ipertrail (167 km for 5350m D+), that took place the 5th of January, embodies the spirit of adventure and expedition with a format reserved for only the most experienced outdoor enthusiasts and to whom marries this philosophy. GPS navigation and satellite tracking, an innovative concept of refreshment points and a path that leads to the beach where you are close to the mountains with a meter of snow...These are the characteristics that distinguish S1 Ipertrail from other races, for hardness, beauty and uniqueness of the format. Respect for nature, values of trail-running and fair play are the pillars of this experience.
