The event in a few words

Get your quads and your best movie-star smile ready—we’re sending you to sweat it out on the absolute jewel of the Riviera! 🤩 Put that tux back in the closet; red carpets happily give way to Ligurian dirt 🥾.

Head for the sumptuous region of Liguria, in the ultra-chic province of Genoa 🇮🇹. Your body will have to handle a particularly punishing, leg-breaking profile to earn that final arch 🏅.

The dirt path throws you straight into the heart of the splendid Portofino Regional Natural Park 🌲. The effort forces you to climb countless flights of stairs carved into the rock, looking straight out over the sea. The historic immersion becomes fabulous as you plunge down toward the incredible Abbey of San Fruttuoso, a true medieval treasure accessible only on foot or by boat ⛪. Running along these dizzying cliffs undeniably gives you an extra dose of soul to conquer the rockiest sections 🦅.

Transalpine fervor transforms the little Piazzetta into a noisy arena where fans shout your name. Forget totally silent races—the voices of the Italians hit hard against the beautiful colorful facades! 📣 Swapping your running shoes for a bit of exploring guarantees brand-new thrills with your loved ones. Take your crew for a dive—mask on—in the mystical bay to try to spot the famous Christ of the Abyss submerged beneath the waves 🐠.

Then drive a good half hour to Genoa to amaze the kids with the grand tanks of its enormous aquarium 🐬. Strolling as a couple through the port of Camogli is also an excellent alternative for devouring an authentic, piping-hot focaccia 🤤. Save one last ounce of energy to admire Brown Castle majestically overlooking the gulf. Shift up a gear, tame those Ligurian steps, and come leave your mark on this paradise! 💥
