SciaccheTrail is a 47 km trail race that runs through the Cinque Terre National Park on the Ligurian coast. The route links the five historic villages along the park trail network, crossing terraced vineyards, dry stone walls and old stone staircases to form the loop known as the Sciacchetrail ring. The 2027 edition offers a single distance, the classic 47 km, with entries allocated by lottery. The race is part of the ITRA National League and carries a UTMB Index, and it is staged with the support of the national park, the local municipalities and a large group of volunteer associations.
