Madonna del Sasso Trail

Boleto di Madonna del Sasso is a small village, so race-morning logistics are likely simple but compact. Arrive well before the 09:30 start to collect your bib, use toilets, drop a bag if available, and listen to any pre-race briefing. There may be limited parking and facilities, so carpooling or arriving early is wise. Warm up on the village roads or lower trails before the start.

The finish will likely be close to the start area in Boleto di Madonna del Sasso. Expect basic post-race refreshments such as water, fruit, and perhaps local food or hot drinks. Bring warm, dry layers to change into after finishing, especially in November. Results may be posted on-site or online later, so keep your bib visible until you have finished.

November weather in Piemonte can be cold, wet, foggy, or even snowy on higher trails. Wear trail running shoes with good grip for muddy and rocky sections, and dress in layers that you can adjust. A waterproof and windproof jacket, gloves, hat, and spare warm layer are recommended for both the 7km and 15.7km routes. Carry a phone and a small emergency blanket even on the shorter distance.

Yes, the 7km route can be suitable for beginners who can walk or jog hilly trails. It is still a trail event in November, so prepare with brisk uphill walks, short off-road runs, and proper shoes. Bring a waterproof layer and phone, and allow extra time if the ground is muddy or wet. If you have any doubt, train on similar terrain and check the course profile once available.
