Royal Ultra Sky Marathon

Higher, harder, wilder: the Ultra Sky Marathon of Gran Paradiso.

Higher, since, among the others, there are 3 passes around 3000 m above the sea level.
Harder, since there are many technical sections including steeply coluoir and snow-fields.
Wilder, since this race goes through one of the few really uncontaminated areas of the Alps.

This is the race for sky runners of Gran Paradiso. The track follows the network of “Strade Reali di Caccia” (a series of mule tracks for hunting which have been realized by the Savoia royal dinisty) in the south side of the Gran Paradiso group.

Big thrills and amazing landscapes are waiting for the runners which will test themselves by engaging in this 50 Km long competiotion with more than 4000m of elevation gain.
