The venue is the valley itself:<\/strong> There is no traditional stadium. The heart of the event is Piazza Garibaldi in Sondrio, which serves as the race office, expo village, bib pick-up point, briefing stage, traditional lunch hall, awards ceremony venue and party location. This piazza becomes a meeting point for runners, families and wine lovers for four days.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThree historic start towns:<\/strong> Each race starts in a different historic location, all linked by train and shuttle to Sondrio. The 42 km starts in Tirano at Piazza Cavour, a border town famous for its sanctuary and its heroic vineyards. The 21 km starts in Chiuro at the Municipal Stadium, in the middle of the Valgella, Inferno and Grumello terraces. The 13 km starts in Castione Andevenno at IperVerde, close to the Sassella cru. All routes converge on Sondrio, where the finish line is set up in Piazza Garibaldi with bag retrieval organized in the underground car park underneath.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTerrain and course character:<\/strong> The routes are officially marked as Trail (Unpaved) with available services including chip timing, finisher medal, photo service and refreshment points. You will run on the Valtellina Trail, through the Bosco dei Bordighi Nature Reserve, over mule paths built centuries ago to work the vines, and through cellars where Nebbiolo ages. The organization ensures rescue call-out stations at key points along the route and at feed stations, with a team of medics at the finish zone.<\/p>\n\n\n\nVolledig wedstrijdschema of evenementenschema<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
The week starts with culture and education:<\/strong> The program opens with Students\u2019 Wine Trail at Tenuta La Gatta in Bianzone, with shuttle buses from Tirano and Tresenda stations, a walk and a race followed by awards and return shuttle. This is designed to connect young people with vineyard culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTest run weekend:<\/strong> One week before the main event, the organization offers official course test runs. The 21 km test starts at Chiuro sports field and finishes in Sondrio, while the 13 km test starts at Castione IperVerde and finishes in Sondrio. These are guided, non-competitive opportunities to learn the course. On the same day, a walk through the streets of Sondrio is organized with complimentary official Valtellina Wine Trail flags while supplies last, followed by a pizzoccheri dinner open to everyone and a Hallowine Party in the Marquee at Piazza Garibaldi featuring a beloved 90s live show.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFamily and gastronomy focus:<\/strong> The following day is built around food and families. From midday, Mountain Food Experience features mountain refuges from Valtellina, Cilento and Sicily. In the afternoon, Wine and Landscape workshops for children include interactive shows like Ghostbusters in the Cellar, Slow Lab Mini-Science in the Cellar with tablets and Wi-Fi microscopes, and The Vineyard on a T-Shirt creative workshop where children customize shirts using corks, vine leaves and grape clusters.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEvening tastings:<\/strong> Early in the race week, Valtellina Wine Taste offers a station-style dinner by reservation where each station is a meeting point for producers, chefs and local flavors. Dedicated Wine Workshops are held at the Wine Rooms of Palazzo Martinengo. A talk on Longevity and Sport with Serena Missori and Alessandro Gelli explores training, well-being and longevity at Cinema Excelsior, followed by official briefing and athlete presentation in the Marquee.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRace day flow:<\/strong> Race morning is centered on transfers. For the long distance, participants meet at Piazzale Bertacchi at Sondrio Station for train ticket distribution and take the recommended regional train to Tirano. For the middle distance, same meeting point with train to Chiuro. For the short distance, shuttle buses run from Piazzale Valgoi to Castione Andevenno. Starts are staggered in late morning across the three towns, plus a Jo\u00eblette start at Montagna in Valtellina. From midday, the Marquee hosts Traditional Lunch with Pizzoccheri and Bresaola Rigamonti, followed by awards for 13 km in the afternoon and for 21 km and 42 km in early evening, closing with Valtellina Wine Trail Party with Gravy DJ.<\/p>\n\n\n\nClosing day:<\/strong> The day after the main race is for youth and families, with Mini Valtellina Wine Trail FIDAL youth race organized by Polisportiva Albosaggia, Family Wine Trail non-competitive walk with complimentary T-shirts for the first 1100 registered, Polenta lunch open to everyone, and a live show with awards for label competition and Supporters\u2019 Trophy.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTeams, atleten en deelnemers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Who can enter:<\/strong> The three races are open to everyone, male and female, aged 18 years or older on race day for competitive categories. The non-competitive Sassella Trail is open to all ages, with participants under 18 required to be accompanied by a responsible adult. Participation requires a level of training to cope with strenuous exertion and clothing suitable for temperatures that could range from -5\u00b0C to +30\u00b0C.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCompetitive requirements:<\/strong> Competitive athletes must be members of Italian Athletics Federation FIDAL, hold a FIDAL RunCard valid on race day, or be members of CSEN sports association. Day memberships for CSEN can be obtained at additional cost while registering. All competitive participants must have a valid medical certificate for athletics. Foreign athletes may compete if they are members of a foreign athletics federation recognized by IAAF or hold a valid RunCard, otherwise they must purchase a CSEN day license and supply a medical certificate.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNon-competitive community:<\/strong> The non-competitive versions of 13 km, 21 km and 42 km require no federation membership and no medical certificate, though medical certificate is advised. Results are published as an alphabetical list of finishers with times, not as competitive rankings. This option has made the event popular with wine tourists, hiking groups and families.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe field:<\/strong> The race attracts a mix of elite trail runners chasing UTMB Index points, with the 42 km offering 1750m+ and the 21 km 900m+, and passionate amateurs from across Europe. Many participants return year after year for the services at fair cost, the beauty of the area, the third-time party atmosphere, the passion of volunteers and the goodness of local products.<\/p>\n\n\n\nToernooiformaat en competitiestructuur<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Semi self-sufficiency at the core:<\/strong> All three races are run in semi self-sufficiency for fluids and refreshments. Feed stations with fluids and solids are placed along each route, but pacing or external carrying and feeding support by non-registered runners is not permitted. Plastic cups are not available, every runner must carry a personal cup or soft flask.<\/p>\n\n\n\nParallel race structure:<\/strong> The format consists of three independent races run simultaneously with separate classifications but a shared finish festival. Each distance has its own start location, elevation profile, time limit and awards. This allows friends and families to choose different distances yet finish in the same place.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTime limits and cut-offs:<\/strong> The maximum time allowed for 42 km is 7 hours 45 minutes with official conclusion in early evening. For 21 km, maximum is 7 hours. The 42 km has one official cut-off at KM 27 in Chiuro, piazza Stefano Quadrio, in early afternoon. Half Trail and Sassella Trail have no intermediate cut-offs, which makes them more accessible. If participants fail to depart a checkpoint before cut-off, they are disqualified and must hand in their bib, though they may continue at their own risk without organizer responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\nControls and fairness:<\/strong> Passage at checkpoints is verified by chip or manually. Random mobile control posts are set up in places other than rescue and refreshment posts and their position is not communicated. Marshals check obligatory kit at any time. Breaking rules such as hiding the bib, swapping numbers without authorization, not passing timing mats, using public transport during race, or receiving help outside authorized zones leads to penalty or disqualification.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWedstrijd-\/evenementtijden<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Initial opening:<\/strong> Registrations open in early May at 9:00 AM and close when bibs run out. The official link is via ENDU platform at www.endu.net. The event has a history of selling out, with the ninth edition reaching 3000 athletes, so early registration is strongly recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPricing policy:<\/strong> The organization has maintained a fair cost policy with high quality services at unchanged costs. The 2026 fees remain at 70 EUR, 60 EUR and 45 EUR, which convert to USD 76, USD 65 and USD 49. This flat model means there are no early bird or late surcharges, but availability is the limiting factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTransfer and exchange window:<\/strong> Entries may be re-allocated to another athlete for a one-off fee of USD 11 based on 10 EUR until early October. The ENDU platform handles exchanges. Race distances are not exchangeable, so choose carefully at purchase.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSide event reservations:<\/strong> Separate tickets for Wine Workshops, Valtellina Wine Taste station dinner, Pizzoccheri Dinner, Mountain Food Experience, Polenta lunch and children workshops are sold through the official booking portal and often sell out before race week.<\/p>\n\n\n\nVIP- en hospitality-opties<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Premium tasting experiences:<\/strong> The top hospitality offering is Valtellina Wine Taste, a station-style dinner by reservation where each station is a meeting point for producers, chefs and local flavors. This is an evening celebrating quality of local ingredients and food-and-wine culture, held in the Marquee at Piazza Garibaldi. Wine Workshops at Palazzo Martinengo offer intimate sessions in historic wine rooms with limited seats.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFestival hospitality:<\/strong> Eroico Rosso festival in Tirano offers VIP tastings of Sforzato di Valtellina DOCG, the heroic wine made from dried grapes on steep terraces. Vie del Gusto in Sondrio offers guided itineraries through the town center with art, music and local experiences, organized in collaboration with the Municipality of Sondrio.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRace day hospitality:<\/strong> The Marquee at Piazza Garibaldi provides covered hospitality with Traditional Lunch featuring Pizzoccheri and Bresaola Rigamonti organized by ASTEL Teglio, sports massage area, showers, and evening party. The race pack itself is considered hospitality, with local delicacies, technical commemorative gift and handmade products reflecting the green perspective of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLogistics included as hospitality:<\/strong> Unlike many races, transport is included. Train tickets, shuttle buses, secure bag drop transported to finish and underground car park collection are all part of the service. This removes stress on race morning and is frequently praised in reviews.<\/p>\n\n\n\nStadion- en evenementregels<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Missing kit leads to immediate disqualification without appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBib and timing rules:<\/strong> The bib must be visible throughout the entire race and may not be folded or disguised. Each athlete must cross timing mats at respective start lines and checkpoints. The bib serves as pass for shuttle buses, feed stations, refreshment zone, showers and bag collection.

Competitors found not respecting nature will be reported for misconduct and may be disqualified. Plastic Free rule means no cups at feed stations, you must carry your own. Pacing or support by non-registered runners outside authorized zones is forbidden.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSafety and withdrawal:<\/strong> Rescue posts are authorized to assist any person in danger with conventional medical measures and can disqualify any competitor deemed incapable of finishing.

In case of withdrawal, athlete must inform closest staffed checkpoint to invalidate bib and organize safe return. Failure to notify and subsequent search costs are charged to participant.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHoe kom je daar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Base location:<\/strong> The entire event hub is Sondrio, capital of Valtellina in Lombardy, northern Italy. The finishing zone, race office and expo are in Piazza Garibaldi, Sondrio. Start towns are Tirano to the northeast near the Swiss border, Chiuro in the middle of the valley, and Castione Andevenno just south of Sondrio.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPer trein:<\/strong> Sondrio is served by Trenord regional trains from Milan. From Milan Centrale or Milano Porta Garibaldi, regional trains run to Sondrio and Tirano. The organization uses regional trains for official transfers, with meeting at Piazzale Bertacchi at Sondrio Station. This is the most sustainable and stress-free option on race morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMet de auto:<\/strong> The valley is crossed by SS38 Stelvio state road, connecting to A36 and then to Milan. From Milan, drive via Lecco and Morbegno to Sondrio takes about two and a half hours depending on traffic. From Tirano, the border crossing to Switzerland leads to St. Moritz area.<\/p>\n\n\n\nPer vliegtuig:<\/strong> Closest airports are Milan Bergamo Orio al Serio, Milan Malpensa and Milan Linate. From airports, take train to Milan and then to Sondrio, or rent a car. Many international runners combine the race with a visit to Lake Como, which is en route.<\/p>\n\n\n\nInter-venue movement:<\/strong> On race weekend, the organization provides all necessary transport from Sondrio to starts. For spectators, regional trains allow easy movement between Sondrio, Ponte in Valtellina, Chiuro and Tirano to cheer runners inside vineyards and cellars.<\/p>\n\n\n\nOpenbaar vervoer & parkeren<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Included public transport:<\/strong> Your entry includes train ticket from Sondrio to Tirano for 42 km and from Sondrio to Chiuro for 21 km. For 13 km, shuttle bus from Piazzale Valgoi is included. Meet at Piazzale Bertacchi for ticket distribution before recommended regional trains. This system is praised for reducing car traffic on narrow vineyard roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLocal buses and walking:<\/strong> Sondrio is compact and walkable. Piazza Garibaldi, Piazzale Valgoi and Piazzale Bertacchi are within 10 minutes of each other. City buses connect station, finish area and accommodation zones. Many accommodations are within walking distance of the station and finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\nParking for participants and spectators:<\/strong> Sondrio offers underground car park underneath finish zone in Piazza Garibaldi for bag retrieval, plus Piazzale Valgoi and Piazzale Bertacchi near station for race morning. Private parking is available on site at many hotels and B&Bs, often free. For those staying in Chiuro, Ponte, Castione or Tirano, local parking near start areas is available but limited, so public transport is recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\nSustainable choice:<\/strong> Given that course sections are not closed to traffic and the event promotes green perspective, using train and official shuttles is both more practical and aligned with the event ethos. The Expo Village and food areas are all in pedestrian zone, so no parking needed once in Sondrio center.<\/p>\n\n\n\nAccommodatiegebieden<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Sondrio Historic Centre:<\/strong> The most convenient area, walking distance to Piazza Garibaldi expo, race office, finish line, marquee, restaurants and wine bars.

This area is ideal if you want to experience evening events, parties and tastings without driving.<\/p>\n\n\n\nNear Sondrio Station:<\/strong> Strategic for early morning transfers to Tirano and Chiuro. Apartments in quiet residential areas offer train station within 10-minute walk, private covered parking, closed storage for bicycles and ski equipment, and easy access to most evocative scenic routes of Valtellina.

Staying here means you wake up in the vineyards.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTirano area:<\/strong> Ideal if running 42 km and you want to stay near start. Tirano hosts Eroico Rosso festival, has historic center, sanctuary and direct connection to Bernina Express. Good for combining race with wine tourism and pre-race course reconnaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCastione Andevenno:<\/strong> Closest to 13 km start, quiet and rural, with agriturismi offering home-cooked meals, local wine and garden views. Perfect for runners seeking tranquility.<\/p>\n\n\n\nBooking advice:<\/strong> Autumn weekends are high season for wine tourism, especially during Eroico Rosso and Vie del Gusto. Check live availability early, especially for accommodations with electric vehicle charging station, children facility and elevator. Many properties offer flexible cancellation but sell out weeks in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\nEten en drinken op de locatie<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
On course:<\/strong> Feed stations along each route offer fluids and solids, but in Plastic Free mode you must carry your own cup or soft flask.

The course itself passes through wineries like Tenuta La Gatta in Bianzone, giving a literal taste during the run. Expo Village offers local delicacies, bresaola, Bitto cheese, apples, honey and craft products.<\/p>\n\n\n\nToegankelijkheid<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Course accessibility:<\/strong> Competitive trail courses with 550 to 1750 meters of climbing over mule paths, vineyards and farm tracks are not suitable for standard wheelchairs. However, the organization includes a dedicated Jo\u00eblette category starting at Montagna in Valtellina, allowing participation of athletes with disabilities using single-wheeled chairs pushed by teams. This has become one of the most emotional moments of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\nVenue accessibility:<\/strong> Piazza Garibaldi finish area, Marquee, Expo Village, race office and underground car park bag retrieval zone are accessible with flat access and signposted routes.

Starting in Tirano at Piazza Cavour, you cross the most prestigious terraces, enter historic cellars, climb 1731 meters and descend 1855 meters over 42 km, finishing in Sondrio. It is the great classic of end of season where sport meets food and wine, and it offers UTMB Index points.<\/p>\n\n\n\nThe half 21 km:<\/strong> The sweet spot for most runners. From Chiuro to Sondrio on terraces of Valgella, Inferno and Grumello, this distance offers 914 meters of climbing, stunning views, cellar passages and enough challenge without requiring ultra preparation.

Record numbers and atmosphere:<\/strong> The ninth edition confirmed the event as one of great numbers, with three thousand athletes, three races, 400 volunteers and 11 municipalities crossed. It remains one of the few Italian trail events to offer a route that winds through rows of vines and enters wine cellars, and that uniqueness drives loyalty.<\/p>\n\n\n\nHigh satisfaction:<\/strong> On Endu platform, the event holds 4.9 out of 5 from over 160 reviews, described as the end-of-season classic on Valtellina\u2019s terraces with routes among vines, dry-stone walls and historic villages, with cellar passages and stunning views. Runners praise chip timing, finisher medals, photo service, race pack and refreshment points, but most mention the food, the volunteers and the third-time party.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCompetitive depth:<\/strong> In the last edition, 888 finishers completed 42 km and 1227 finished 21 km, with times from just over 2 hours for 21 km leaders to over 7 hours for final 42 km finishers, showing incredible depth from elite to recreational. The UTMB Index listing attracts international trail runners.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCultural impact:<\/strong> Highlights included Mountain Food Experience with refuges from three regions, wine and landscape workshops for children, sold-out pizzoccheri dinner, and the Hallowine Party with 90s live show that kept Piazza Garibaldi dancing late.
