Trail running is more than just a sport; it's a challenge against oneself, a journey through nature and endurance. It is in this very spirit that the Fessura Trail Team will make its official debut at the Chianti Ultra Trail by UTMB 2025, set to take place from March 21 to 23 in Radda in Chianti.
Competing in a UTMB® event: A place among the world’s best
Participating in a UTMB® event means joining the elite of global trail running. The Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc (UTMB®) series is the ultimate benchmark for endurance athletes, featuring competitions set in breathtaking landscapes, with extreme courses and significant elevation gains.
Fessura Trail Team: A debut that matters
The Fessura Trail Team was born with a clear goal: to establish itself as a key player in the trail running scene. Entering a UTMB® competition is a major milestone for the team, as they will compete against some of the best specialists in the sport.
This adventure is not just a sporting challenge but also a strategic move to strengthen the Fessura brand’s identity in the world of outdoor performance. Additionally, through a co-marketing project with the Marche Region, the team will not only promote its name but also showcase its homeland, highlighting the synergy between sport and innovation.
Chianti Ultra Trail by UTMB: A prestigious stage
The event features five races across trails that wind through the Tuscan hills, vineyards, medieval villages, and technical paths. The main competition, the Ultra Trail Chianti Castles (UTCC), covers a grueling 120 km with 5,200 meters of positive elevation gain—an extreme challenge reserved for the most prepared athletes.
Among the expected participants are some of the greatest names in trail running, including Kilian Jornet, Jim Walmsley, and Vincent Bouillard.
Competing against them on the same course is an extraordinary opportunity for the Fessura Trail Team, allowing them to test themselves against the sport’s elite and prove their worth on an international stage.
