The race will start from Mezzolago and quickly reach the village of Pieve di Ledro, passing along the lakeside promenade. After crossing the town of Pieve, the trail will ascend towards Malga Saval, pass through Bocca Cocca, and reach the summit of Cima Caret, the first summit of the day. It will then descend towards Bocca Saval. Upon reaching Saval, the ascent towards Cima Parì begins. At the summit, there will be a flying finish line dedicated to the memory of Damiano Gnuffi (passionate runner and co-founder of the SSD Tremalzo). Once the highest point of the trail is reached, the race will continue along the mountain ridge. In the following kilometers, participants will cross trenches and war tunnels against the backdrop of breathtaking scenery (this will be the "technical" part of the course: specialized personnel will ensure maximum safety for all competitors).

A steep descent will then lead to Bocca Dromaè. From there, the last step: the race will ascend the ridge of Cima d'Oro. Upon reaching the cross at the summit of Cima d'Oro, it will be truly impossible, even for the fastest skyrunners, to resist stopping to admire the unique and exhilarating panorama in front of their eyes.

After the cross, the descent will begin, first through trenches and then down the botanical trail to Mezzolago, with a final rush of 300 meters on asphalt to the finish line. "El senter dele greste" is done, and I am certain that your heart will swell with pride when you look back on this race.
