The Sardone Trail presents three diverse courses designed to cater to various levels of fitness and adventure:

What sets the Sardone Trail apart is its integration of sport with local culture and cuisine. Participants are treated to a course full of surprises and panoramic vistas that merge the thrill of the race with a journey through history and tradition. As the race concludes, a refreshing dip in the sea provides a perfect cooldown, followed by a feast of fried sardines, a local delicacy that caps off the event in true Italian style.
Organized by ASD Sentierouno, the Sardone Trail promises not only a physical challenge but also an opportunity to engage with the rich heritage and hospitality of the Duino Karst region.
