Was Sie erwartet

An ultra dream through Val d’Orcia: Tuscany Crossing is a competitive trail and ultra-trail race organised by ASD Sienarunners, taking place in southern Tuscany in the Val d’Orcia Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is described as running an ultra marathon in the rolling hills of Tuscany, a dream where landscapes are never the same. The event is a journey through three distinct souls of Val d’Orcia, the wine region near Montalcino, the classic area passing through San Quirico d’Orcia and Pienza, and the mountainous section reaching highest elevations.

Four distances plus walks: The format offers Distance Run 160 km, 103 km, 53 km, 15 km and Distance Walk 103 km, 53 km, 15 km. The 100-mile race, TC100M, covers 161 km with 5220 meters positive elevation, 16 percent asphalt of which 9 percent crossing villages and towns, with 6 ITRA points. The TC103K covers 103 km with significant elevation, the TC50K covers 53 km, and TC15K covers 15 km. All routes mostly pass through typical Tuscan countryside comprising mainly dirt tracks, footpaths and tarmac less than 20 percent, passing through some of Tuscany’s most beautiful villages.

A real restyling of the track: After experience of first two editions of 100 miles, precautions were necessary and real restyling was made, dividing Val d’Orcia into three parts. The Val d’Orcia of Wine goes up to Montalcino to return to life base in Castiglione d’Orcia. The Classic Val d’Orcia travels through territories of San Quirico d’Orcia and Pienza which with 53 km returns to Castiglione d’Orcia. The Mountain Val d’Orcia rises to 1100 meters above sea level. You will see sunset, night, sunrise through woods, vineyards, white roads, descend to Orcia river, head towards famous Cypresses of Triboli valley, Torrenieri ancient post station on Via Francigena, Montalcino medieval village famous for His Majesty Brunello, Abbey of Sant’Antimo founded according to legend by Charlemagne, Castelnuovo dell’Abate, Rocca di Tentennano your lighthouse for whole race, Rocca d’Orcia, ancient Bagno Vignoni spa famous for pool in center of village, Rocca di Vignoni Alto, lands made famous by film Gladiator with Elysian Fields and church of Madonna di Vitaleta, Pienza ideal city wanted by Pope Pius II now UNESCO heritage, Monticchiello famous for Teatro Povero, Via Agogna with 360 degree view, Gallina second life base, Campiglia d’Orcia around Bell Tower, Bagni San Filippo famous for White Whale limestone formation formed thanks to gushing of thermal waters, Vivo d’Orcia highest point at 1050 meters, Poggio Rosa and final climb to conquer the Rocca.

Semi-autonomy and true trail spirit: The main recommendation is to calibrate forces well, pay attention to distances and manage water and food autonomy well. Val d’Orcia is land of wind and desert and can easily deceive, race is in semi-autonomy. From one refreshment point to another there can be several km and long time, so mandatory material is essential. Knowledge of route offers physical and mental advantages, especially sections you expect to run in dark when mental and physical energy may be low.
