Running along the ridges and through the woods of the Modena Apennines is one of the sports that will bring you closest to the nature of our mountains!
In recent years, trail running has proven to be an extremely popular sport, and this area of the Apennines offers many opportunities to enjoy it.
If you go walking along the mountain trails of the area, you will often come across runners training for upcoming competitions. There are now more and more of these competitions, and a genuine race circuit has been created for enthusiasts of this sport.
We recommend that you follow our social media pages, where we always provide information about racing schedules and programmes.
Of the many racing events which take place in the area, we cannot fail to mention the Cima Tauffi Trail and the Marcia dei Tori, which both take place in the Fanano area, or the Lago Santo Skyrace in the Pievepelago area.
Over the last couple of years, the RiolunaTrail has also been organised in the municipality of Riolunato!
If you want to train for upcoming races, or simply want to experience the thrill of running along mountain ridges, you will find GPS itineraries on the individual race websites. You can follow these, and put yourself to the test.
