Corsa di Marmo

About this event

The Corsa di Marmo takes runners through the marble quarries of Fontia in northern Italy, where Carrara marble has been extracted since Roman times. The course winds through a landscape of gleaming white stone faces and mountain paths carved by centuries of quarrying. It's a unique setting that blends industrial heritage with mountain terrain, offering runners a glimpse into the region's storied marble industry. The technical nature of the trails and the challenging elevation make this best suited for experienced trail runners comfortable with demanding mountain routes. The stark white quarries against the green Apuan Alps create an unforgettable backdrop that's quite unlike any other trail race.
