Claudia Augusta Altinate Trail

14 June @ 0:00

The Lamon Plateau, the extreme edge of the Western Feltrino, extends to the thresholds of the Dolomites, bordered to the East by the deep incision of the Cismon River and surrounded by mountainous and hilly ridges that separate it from the Tesino and Valsugana areas.

The territory, Romanized around the 1st century AD, was crossed by the Via Claudia Augusta, a military road that connected Altino with Rhaetia. Its route was dotted with fortifications, one of which likely stood on the Colle di San Pietro, where the homonymous parish church was later built.

In the San Donato area, this presence was confirmed by the discovery in 1836 of the “Chalice of Deacon Orso“, the oldest Eucharistic chalice in Christianity’s Western world. In the Piasentot locality, the remains of a late Roman necropolis were recently found, the subject of an extensive archaeological excavation campaign that allowed for the recovery of over 80 burials along with funeral equipment including earrings, necklaces, fibulae, and coins.

And it is in these places that the trail takes place, consisting of three racing events in a medium mountain environment:

 40K competitive sky running event covering approximately 40 kilometers with a positive elevation gain of about 2000 meters.

 22K competitive race with a loop course of approximately 22 kilometers and a positive elevation gain of about 1000 meters.

 14K short trial, competitive with a sports medical certificate and also NON-competitive, featuring a loop course of approximately 14 kilometers and a positive elevation gain of about 700 meters.

The perfect mix for lovers of running, nature, and history
