Trail della Gallinara

About this event

The Trail della Gallinara takes runners into the hills above Albenga on the Italian Riviera, where Mediterranean coastline meets rugged inland terrain. The 29-kilometre course climbs 1,533 metres through olive groves and coastal scrubland, with glimpses of the Ligurian Sea below. Steady ascents reward runners with expansive views across the Gulf of Genoa and the protected Gallinara Island nature reserve. January brings cooler temperatures for the climbing, though the route demands solid hill fitness and sure footing on rocky, technical sections. This trail captures Liguria's distinctive blend of sea and mountain, offering a proper challenge for those ready to tackle sustained elevation in a beautiful coastal setting.
