Trofeo San Lorenzo

About this event

Trofeo San Lorenzo brings trail runners to Sant'Agata li Battiati, a town on the eastern slopes of Mount Etna in Sicily. This August event takes place in the heart of summer, when the volcanic terrain and Mediterranean landscape create a distinctive running environment. The race draws on the area's connection to Mount Etna, offering trails that wind through lava fields, ancient forests, and villages perched on volcanic hillsides. Sant'Agata li Battiati sits just inland from Catania, blending proximity to the coast with the dramatic backdrop of Europe's most active volcano. The event suits runners comfortable with technical terrain and warm-weather racing, offering an authentic Sicilian trail experience where volcanic geology meets local tradition.
