12th CorriconGioia Half Marathon
Two laps are a bit too much
The Gioia del Colle Half Marathon of 28 April 2026 is a well-known race, though not exactly a beautiful one. The heat made it hard to aim for a personal best and the two-lap course complicated things, even though there was plenty of water and the elevation gain was modest. A final refreshment stop with cold beer and Gioia's typical mozzarella, and a race finished without any particular pain.
9th Ecotrail Castel del Monte
An epic trail circling the castle
At the 9th Ecotrail Castel del Monte I ran 16.5 km with 300 metres of elevation gain, on a course full of obstacles. After several hills, little-used and very narrow trails and stretches strewn with stones, the greatest satisfaction was running around the octagonal castle, and the race ended with a refreshment stop featuring fresh burrata.
Bittrail 29/03/2026
Bittrail race photo gallery. 20 km run, 600m elevation gain.
A report on the Bittrail of 29 March 2026, a 20 km cross-country run made tiring more by the elevation gain than by the distance. With a CamelBak full of water and my energy rationed from the start, the course got even harder on the stony stretches, where tripping was easy, and on the mud left by the previous day's rain.
