VERTIKAL PIZZOC

About this event

Set in the Venetian Prealps near Fregona, VERTIKAL PIZZOC packs nearly 1000 metres of climbing into just 3 kilometres — a short, sharp introduction to vertical racing. The course winds through forested slopes where rolling vineyards give way to open ridges, offering spectacular views across the surrounding valleys. The compact distance makes it approachable for newcomers curious about this distinctive racing format, while experienced runners treat it as quality hill training. Held in early November, the race benefits from crisp autumn air and the kind of supportive atmosphere where pushing personal limits feels more rewarding than daunting. The suffering is intense but brief, and the sense of achievement at the top is outsized for such a short distance.
