Join Vesuvio Ultra Marathon 2025
The races will unfold within the scenic Vesuvius National Park, guiding athletes along its enchanting trails and transporting them back in time as they pass by significant landmarks. After ascending to the summit of Vesuvius, participants will venture into the wild terrain of “Valle dell’Inferno” (Hell Valley), traversing the renowned Via Matrone and the Carcova, where the rebellious Spartacus famously defeated the Roman legions during the Vesuvius Servile War. Athletes will also explore the wooded paths of the Mount Somma mountain range, including its notable peaks known as “cognoli.” The start and finish area at the historic Castello Mediceo in Ottaviano will offer a delightful glimpse into the medieval era, when it was the residence of the Medici family.
