Tuscany Crossing Run & Walk
Distance Run: 160/103/53/15 km
Distance Walk: 103/53/15 km
Running an Ultra Marathon in the rolling hills of Tuscany.....a dream! And what better place than the Val d'Orcia to act as a backdrop, with its landscapes that are never the same, seemingly gentle but deceptive for muscles and legs.
In designing the route, the organisers have thought of the journey of the wayfarers and pilgrims who have walked through this land for centuries; because running here, in these lands, will be like being one of their "wayfarers of times gone by", a daydream.
The roads that cross it are the great roads that, in Roman times, joined Rome to the other side of the Alps, the Romea, the Cassia, the Francigena, travelled by Sigeric Archbishop of Canterbury and by many illustrious wayfarers, warriors, saints and brigands; the fortifications, castles and medieval parish churches still present in the territory bear witness to this.
Course details
The route is as varied as it is challenging: dirt tracks, woodland paths, flower-filled meadows, fords, scenic climbs and long stretches immersed in the silence of the Tuscan countryside. The route starts in Castiglione d’Orcia and passes through the areas of Montalcino, San Quirico d’Orcia and Pienza, amongst villages that have preserved the charm of the Middle Ages intact.
The rivers Orcia, Vivo and Asso flow along the route, whilst the thermal springs of Bagno Vignoni and Bagni San Filippo serve as a reminder of the deep connection between this region and water. The steam rising from the large thermal pool at Bagno Vignoni and the spectacular ‘Balena Bianca’ on the slopes of Monte Amiata are images that remain etched in the memory just as much as the finish line.
Whether you choose the 53 km, the 103 km or the 100 Miglia, every finish line at the Tuscany Crossing represents much more than just a distance covered. It is a journey through one of Italy’s most beautiful landscapes, a challenge that tests the body and enriches the spirit.
