There are many routes to choose from, both amateur and non-competitive races, many rest places along the way where you can enjoy local food and wine. Let’s check out the routes together and how to partake in Sagrantino Running 2022.

Sagrantino Running: exercise and tourism in a single event

Sagrantino Running was created from the desire to promote exercise as an economic resource and a tool for promoting tourism and the local area. Organised by Athena ASD, with the endorsement of the Umbrian Regional Government, the Municipal Governments of Montefalco and Bevagna and sports and regional organisations, the race is set up to take you through towns, vineyards and the Sagrantino country side.
