The fifth edition of the Voltigno Skytrail will take place Sunday the 7th of May, 2023. The skyrunning event will start and end in the small village of Villa Celiera, a town known in Abruzzo for the quality of its arrosticini.
There will be two races taking place during the event: (1) a skytrail of 18.7 kilometers / 11.6 miles with 1230 meters / 4035 feet of ascent, and (2) a skymarathon of 32.6 kilometers / 20.2 miles with 2130 meters / 6988 feet of ascent.
It is important to remember, especially for foreigners that have never raced in Italy, that to participate in events like this one it is required to be a member of a registered sports club, and have a medical certificate that qualifies you to participate in a competitive running event.
For what concerns the club membership, it is often possible to temporarily join the sports club organizing the event for a small fee, usually between 5 and 20 euro. As for the medical certificate, foreigners can ask their doctor to write them one; large events, such as the UTMB Lavaredo Ultra Trail (LUT), provide a standardized form for all non Italian participants. While this particular form is not valid for any other event than the LUT, you could provide it to your doctor as an example.
More information is available on the ITRA page of the event, or (in Italian) on the official website of the organizers, the Villa Celiera Ski Club.
