About This Race
The 75K serves as the intermediate challenge between the flagship ultra and shorter distances, offering runners a substantial taste of Chianti's demanding terrain without the full commitment of the 120K route. This distance typically attracts experienced trail runners seeking to test their endurance against the region's relentless rolling hills while still maintaining a manageable race window for enjoying the post-race festivities. With approximately 3 Running Stones, it provides a meaningful stepping stone for runners building toward longer UTMB World Series events, demanding solid pacing discipline as the cumulative elevation gain through vineyard climbs becomes increasingly challenging in the latter stages.
