    An enchanting running race in a unique location in the world, the two Cancano lakes. 

    COMPETITIVE RACE

    With a positive elevation gain of 160 m, it represents a fast route, suitable both for athletes who want to train at altitude and for amateurs who want to challenge themselves.

    A perfect race for athletes approaching trail running, thanks to its technical features. Just under a half marathon, all on dirt road and rich in breathtaking landscapes.

    The race route, 18 km long, runs almost entirely on flat white road, bordering the two lakes that cover the Cancano valley.

    After the great success of the 2024 edition, which registered the record of participants, the Cancano Lakes are ready to welcome new athletes, enthusiasts among its valleys, for a fantastic new edition!

    Author’s recommendation

    A time gate will be set at San Giacomo (refreshment point) with passage allowed within the first hour of the race.

    If a competitor withdraws from the race, they must obligatorily inform the nearest checkpoint by registering their race bib.
