The event commences from Bormio,  you will be climbing straight away with 21kms ahead of you with an average gradient of 7%,which will lead you to the first feed station which is just 3km short of  the top of the pass of the left.

We suggest you take on food and a rest before dropping down into Prato. After a careful decent circa 24km, you will then turn left and level out along a rolling terrain for circa 15km , upon which you will take a left turn and commence the climb of  the Umbrial Pass. You will then cross the boarder back into Italy  and circa 1km you will reach the 2nd feed station. You must arrive within 5 and half  hours of the start, the cut is 13:00. Failure to arrive by this cut time mean you will be eliminated from the event/results sheet. Should you wish to continue then there will be NO SUPPORT available.

By now you would have covered  circa 76km , after you have been fed, watered and rested , U-turn and retrace your steps by dropping down the  Umbrail Pass, when you reach the T-Junction  turn right and retrace along the Vally road , then take right , signed STELVIO and  commence the final climb of the Stelvio from the Parto side  – a 24km climb to reach the finish line (third feed).

If at the 2nd feed before returning down the Umbrail Pass , you feel  you have had enough then carefully descend down in the direction of Bormio to your hotel, but I am sure you would want to continue and complete this epic challenge you came to do.

When you hear the name Santini in the cycling world one thing comes to mind – QUALITY.  Based in Bergamo Santini was founded in 1965 by Pietro Santini and he is still active in the business to this day along with his two daughters.
