One more news towards the tenth edition of Adamello Ultra Trail, scheduled for September 20-22, 2024: the Italian trail and ultrarunning event in the Pontedilegno-Tonale area (Northern Italy) enters the prestigious TORX eXperience international circuit and awards 15 bibs for 2025 TOR330-Tor des Géants® in the two longest distances
The organizing committee of Adamello Ultra Trail ASD had previously announced that the tenth edition was going to be one for the ages, and so far it’s keeping its word. After confirming the entire side event panel launched in 2023, the trail and ultrarunning event in the Italian Alps now features a brand new distance and, the latest news, an innovative partnership with the prestigious TORX eXperience circuit.
The collaboration between the event in the Pontedilegno-Tonale area and the international network of trail running competitions, aiming at promoting and further bolstering the passion for the discipline while staying true to its founding values, will give to 15 athletes on the two longest distances (170 and 100 km) the chance to qualify to 2025 TOR330-Tor des Géants®without going through the lottery draft.
On the other hand, for Adamello Ultra Trail this partnership represents another milestone towards its goal of reaching a broader audience on the international scenario. A long-term process that in the latest edition already counted on athletes from no less than 16 Countries, running and challenging themselves on the paths of World War I between Lombardy and Trentino.
“Sealing this deal means a lot to us, as it allows the event to keep growing and becoming more and more international. Adamello Ultra Trail goes beyond the race itself, as it is a way to bring to the people the wonders of our mountains. We are working hard towards a special tenth edition and we can’t wait to welcome the runners on the trails: see you in September!”, said Paolo Gregorini, head of the organization.
“The bond between TORX and Adamello Ultra Trail goes back a long time. #AUT 170 km is one of the most beautiful Italian races, and the only 100-miler: we’re happy to have finally sealed a partnership with this event, whose organization shares our values and misson”, said Alessandra Nicoletti, TORX Race Director.
