VESUVIO ULTRAMARATHON

As mentioned before, the races will take place within the context of Vesuvius National Park and,
through its wonderful paths, they will take the athletes back in time, travelling through relevant
landmarks. After climbing the top of Vesuvius, they will get through the wild part of “Valle
dell’Inferno” (Hell Valley), with the famous via Matrone and the Carcova, where the insurgent
Spartacus defeated the Roman legions in the Vesuvius Servile War. Above all, athletes will travel
the wooded ways of Mount Somma mountain range and its peaks called “cognoli”. The
starting/arriving zone, the famous Castello Mediceo (Ottaviano) will be a nice throw-back to
medieval era, when it was the residence of the Medici family
