Tuscany Crossing

Tuscany Crossing Run & Walk Distance Run: 160/103/53/15 km Distance Walk: 103/53/15 km Running an Ultra Marathon in the rolling hills of Tuscany.....a dream! And what better place than the Val d'Orcia to act as a backdrop, with its landscapes that are never the same, seemingly gentle but deceptive for muscles and legs. In designing the route, the organisers have thought of the journey of the wayfarers and pilgrims who have walked through this land for centuries; because running here, in these lands, will be like being one of their "wayfarers of times gone by", a daydream. The roads that cross it are the great roads that, in Roman times, joined Rome to the other side of the Alps, the Romea, the Cassia, the Francigena, travelled by Sigeric Archbishop of Canterbury and by many illustrious wayfarers, warriors, saints and brigands; the fortifications, castles and medieval parish churches still present in the territory bear witness to this.
