ITRA e UTMB

Posted on by

Nei giorni scorsi abbiamo chiesto, come ogni anno fin dalla prima edizione, la valutazione dei nostri percorsi a ITRA, l’International Ultra Trail Association di cui facciamo parte, e l’inserimento tra le gare qualificanti dell’UTMB.

Andiamo sul tecnico:

  • Alla gara lunga, 58 km e 3000m D+, sono stati assegnati 3 punti e viene stimato che il ranking minimo dell’atleta per concluderla è uguale a 430. Diciamo che è sfidante.
  • Alla gara media, 36 km e 2000m D+, sono stati assegnati 3 punti e viene stimato che il ranking minimo dell’atleta per concluderla è uguale a 340. Già meglio.
  • Alla gara breve, 22 km e 1050m D+, è stato assegnati 1 punto e viene stimato che il ranking minimo dell’atleta per concluderla è uguale a 280. Una passeggiata, insomma.

I giorni scorsi, dopo la certificazione ITRA è arrivata la comunicazione che è stata accettata la richiesta di inserimento del Trail del Marganai tra le gare qualificanti al Ultra Trail del Monte Bianco, per noi ammalati di Trail l’UTMB.

Tra un mese esatto potremo finalmente interrompere questa lunga attesa e incontrarci a Buggerru. Naturalmente, mi pare quasi inutile ricordarlo, senza fare assembramenti, mantenendo la giusta distanza tra le persone e indossando sempre la mascherina.

Trail del Marganai postponed to October 31st 2020

Posted on by

Until the last minute we tried everything possible in order to make the Marganai Trail 2020 happen as planned on March 15th 2020, but now we have to surrender.
We are forced to postpone the race to October 31, 2020.

The instructions of the recent Governmental Decree (4 March 2020) leave no choice and besides the Rescue forces and associations that usually guarantee assistance and safety during the race, unfortunately cannot attend, because of the situation of national emergency in progress (coronavirus).
We are facing a huge challenge these weeks and we hope to succeed at overcoming it. The national measures to slow down the contagion of COVID-19 are an important effort to limit the damage and here we are talking about both human lives and economic damage, that can heavily affect our families.

The Marganai Trail has so far been a party, a place where at the end of the race, with a beer, one felt among friends and brothers.
In the coming days, registrations on krono.run will be reopened.

Te following link leads to the Gov.Decree: for eventual travel refunds please check art.28 (e)  http://istruzioneer.gov.it/…/up…/2020/03/DL-2-3-2020-n-9.pdf

Let’s meet on October 31st: a well-deserved cold beer, after many km, will await you. 

ITRA certification and qualifying race for UTMB

Posted on by

As for the previous four editions, the 3 races of the 5th Trail del Marganai are certified by ITRA (International Trail Running Association), which we are members of.

Long trail finishers (58 km with 3000m D +) will award 3 ITRA points, those of the mid distance (36 km with 1900m D +) 2 ITRA points and 1 ITRA point for the runners who reach the finish line of the short race (22 km with 1050m D +).

Furthermore, our request for both the 58 km and the 36 km to be admitted as qualifying races for the UTMB, Ultra Trail del Monte Bianco, has been accepted.

Even if with a little delay compared to previous years, we kept to our commitment to maintain our trail focused on the athletes and their benefits.

Less than 20 days left to register: don’t miss Buggerru and this splendid area of south west Sardinia, called Marganai.

We can’t wait to get the trail party started!

 

Solidarity 2020

Posted on by

The Marganai Trail has been pursuing some important goals since the very beginning, such as promoting the territory where the competition takes place and support local solidarity projects.

This year we decided to donate one Euro for each registered athlete and one for each pasta party voucher, purchased by those who do not compete.

We also asked all local the accommodation facilities (indicated for free on the ‘Hospitality‘ page), if they deem it appropriate, at the end of the event, to make an additional offer, that will be fully donated to the joint project.

The organization of the competition is not-for-profit, so any positive surplus of this 5th edition will be added to the collected amount.

We asked the associations in Buggerru, who are working with us, to aid in identifying a suitable cause for the donation.
We will take care of publicizing progress of the initiative.

So, if you were still looking for a reason to register, besides the beauty of the itineraries and the desire to join us, having a great time in friendship, remember you can contribute to something worthy!

The Paths of the Trail del Marganai 2020

Posted on by

Here are the paths of the Marganai Trail 2020 between news and confirmations.

To begin with, even if you find them on the site menu, these are the links to the related pages:

Tracks with relative distances and altimeters are still for a few weeks to be considered temporary, that is, they could still undergo some minor modification or adjustment.

All the routes will start from the town of Buggerru and without delay along the coast they will proceed inland.

The 22 km has a completely new path.

The 34 km is almost completely new, because it shares with the tracks of the past editions the segment from the Temple of Antas to the caves of Su Mannau which however will be done in the opposite direction to what was done previously.
For those who have already covered it, in this edition it will be downhill!

The 56 km track is the one that keeps the most distance with what was done in past years.
From the Temple of Antas we will continue along the Roman Cave path and head towards Malacalzetta.
Once left the ruins of the buildings of the old mines, we face the climb that instead of going towards the descent to the mines of Reigraxius will stretch up to the Punta Campu Spina, the highest point of all the routes.
From here, after the big descent into the woods, we will head towards Arenas and, kilometer after kilometer, up to the vaults of the Su Mannau Caves.
Here he will rejoin us on the new section of the 34 until we arrive.

The last kilometers of all three races will offer a spectacular view of the coasts of Buggerru and Fluminimaggiore.

Soon we will begin to publish photos of new features.

For registration, just a little more patience. Soon you start!
