Corsa della Bora runs through Trieste 6-8 January, 2023 with as much spirit and grit as ever with a spectacular finish line in Portopiccolo.
Sentiero 1, which springs from the Duomo of Muggia and goes all the way to Sistiana, will become the center of attention the first weekend of January. This is during a time of the year when the rest of Italy is taking a break, but the energy of this place reaches its climax.
There’ll be various distances in the January 2023 race, 8 races in all, which will enable participants to experience running on the Carso boulders between the sea and the mountains.
“The 21 km race (S1 Half) is the most popular, with its panoramic route along Carso’s riffs. Its ups and downs and incredible views of the sea from the vineyards along which the race passes will leave you speechless. Usually the last km of this race are run by the sea, but this year, due to security reasons, we had to let the last km pass by Grotta Azzura – a true spectacle! And this year a real surprise for the runners- a scenic start in Monte Grisa with the finish line in Portopiccolo!” said the organizer of the race, Tommaso de Mottoni.
For long distance running lovers, the 57 km race will let you experience the mountains right by the sea. The beauty of Rosandra Valley, with its steep uphills and even steeper downhills that lead you to the sea are amazing. “This race is very challenging for the first third of the route, and the last part of the race reconnects with the 21 km,” added Mottoni.
“We have also explored ways we can still allow everyone to take part in the pre- and post-race celebrations. We will be streaming all of our races live, starting from Saturday night with the 80 km and finishing on Sunday night with the last participants crossing the finish line. We’ll have participants giving interviews, our staff will be connecting from different parts of the race – enabling everyone to take part in this beautiful event, even non-runners. It will definitely be a sight to see!”
