Past winners headline record-breaking edition in PontediLegno-Tonale (September 20-22). Three-time 100km champion Walter Manser and defending 100-mile winner Daniele Nava lead international field.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Adamello Ultra Trail<\/strong> marks a decade of adventure this September 20-22<\/strong>, as it celebrates its tenth anniversary<\/strong> in Northern Italy\u2019s picturesque PontediLegno-Tonale area<\/strong>. What began as a passion project among friends has blossomed into a record-breaking<\/strong> event, drawing 873 participants from 30 countries<\/strong>. This year\u2019s race will see a mix of newcomers testing their mettle on the historic WWI trails and returning champions vying for victory along the challenging routes of Alta Valle Camonica<\/strong> and Alta Val di Sole<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The race winds through the stunning landscapes of the Adamello Natural Park<\/strong> and Stelvio National Park<\/strong>, challenging runners with a dramatic elevation change from 650m in Edolo to 2,680m at Passo dei Contrabbandieri<\/strong>. The 170 km<\/strong> ultra-distance sees defending champion Daniele Nava<\/strong> of Italy returning to defend his title. Nava, who claimed victory last year with an impressive time of 28 hours, 7 minutes, and 30 seconds<\/strong>, faces stiff competition from France\u2019s Pierre Augrit<\/strong>. Augrit, despite two previous DNFs while in the lead, is determined to go the distance this year. In the women\u2019s division, all eyes are on Italy\u2019s Alessandra Olivi<\/strong>, who dominated the 100-mile race in 2022. Olivi, representing Team MICO, will need to fend off strong challengers, including the formidable Melissa Paganelli<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 100 km<\/strong> event sees the return of Walter Manser<\/strong>, the Swiss runner who has won the distance since 2021. Manser came close to breaking his own course record last year, finishing in 11:45:07<\/strong>, just shy of his 11:39:32<\/strong> best. With the record still standing, Manser faces strong competition from past champions including local athlete Dino Melzani<\/strong>, who won the former 80 km race in 2018, while Italy\u2019s Francesca Crippa<\/strong>, the 2022 winner, leads the way in the women’s field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new 60 km<\/strong> race adds an intriguing dimension to the event, with Luca Carrara<\/strong> emerging as a notable contender. The Bergamo native, who won the 80 km in 2019, enters after a successful season with multiple top-5 finishes and four wins. The Adamello Half Trail features Mirko Marchi<\/strong>, the 2022 35 km<\/strong> champion, among its competitors. In the women\u2019s field, the race could see a close contest between two-time winner Raffaella Rossi<\/strong> (2021, 2022) and current champion Barbara Bani<\/strong>, who holds the course record of 3:56:09<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Adamello Ultra Trail routes traverse the scenic border between Lombardy<\/strong> and Trentino<\/strong>, encompassing seven municipalities in the province of Brescia<\/strong> and one in Trento<\/strong>. As expected, Brescia boasts the largest contingent with 150 local participants<\/strong>. The event\u2019s international appeal is evident, with Germany<\/strong> fielding the largest foreign delegation of 21 runners, closely followed by Switzerland<\/strong>. Poland<\/strong> (14 runners), France<\/strong> (12), and Austria<\/strong> (11) complete the top five international representations, underscoring the race\u2019s growing global popularity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Building on the momentum of last Sunday\u2019s Adamello Series, the main event kicks into gear on Thursday, September 19<\/strong>.
