Trail runningTrieste: where the trail meets the seaThe Gulf of Trieste is the ideal destination for winter trail running. Mild climate on the coast, snow-capped mountains in the background, trails that in just a few kilometres go from the seashore to the Karst paths.
From mountain to seaRoutes ranging from the rocky coastline to the Karst forests. You go from altitude to shore in just a few kilometres: technical terrain, fast descents and views that change with every turn.
Karst, two countriesThe trails cross the Italian and Slovenian Karst: Bora-beaten moorland, fragrant pine forests, hidden dolines and paths from the Great War. A border territory without equivalent.
Mitteleuropa by the seaTrieste is a capital city with all the amenities, but with the soul of a border city: historic cafes, Habsburg architecture, bookshops and theatres. After the race, the city is part of the experience.
Zero km at the aid stationsAt the aid stations you will find typical Karst products: cheese, salami, Teran wine, olive oil. Strictly zero kilometre, strictly handmade.
1The right winter for runningLa Corsa della Bora is perfect for those who want a break from the racing season without stopping - or for those looking for technical terrain at low altitudes where they can push themselves to the limit. Wide times, distances for all levels, no ranking pressure: enjoying the scenery is already the result.
2Challenge or discovery: you chooseSeven distances, from 4 km to the 116 km ultra. For those who want to push themselves, there are technical sections and descents where the legs spin fast. For those who want to explore, the routes pass through villages, cliffs, trenches and woods that in themselves are worth the journey. You don't have to choose beforehand: the Karst terrain decides for you.
