Trail del Marrone traverses the Tuscan-Romagna hills around Castel del Rio, winding through chestnut forests, single tracks, mule paths, and some asphalt sections. The main competitive distance is ~22 km with ~1,200 m of ascent, while the shorter “Short Trail” is ~12 km with ~550 m of climb. The event is semi-self-sufficient, with marked trails, aid stations, and runner support. Finishers receive uniquely crafted medals made of wood as a tribute to nature—and the medal design shifts annually as part of the event’s spirit.
