On August 15, 2026, runners and cyclists will tackle an 8 km route with 800 metres of positive elevation gain, starting from the heart of Ceto and reaching Valpaghera, a hidden gem where majestic mountains are reflected in verdant horizons. It's the perfect opportunity to savour Lombardy's mountain landscapes in a convivial and inclusive atmosphere where the focus is on enjoying movement together rather than competing—surrounded by coniferous forests, alpine meadows, and breathtaking panoramic views.
