TTR® is a run held in the natural environment following ancient paths and routes in the midst of history and nature.
We offer 5 routes, for a day of sport in the heart of the most important parts of the “Food Valley” , home to Fragno Truffles, Parma ham, Parmesan cheese and wine from our hills.
Km. 8,4 (D+ 450 m. ), Km. 17,6 (D+ 1.000 m.), Km. 28,3 (D+ 1.5600m.), Km. 43,5 (D+ 2.250 m.) and Km. 67,8 (D+ 3.620 m.)
These difficult routes include sections along mountain paths with areas considered excursionist in nature (Italian Alpine Club definition type E ) and the conditions can be very demanding (wind, cold, fog, rain and snow all possible) and the temperature ranges from - 5°C to + 20°C
Therefore the following are essential: a good physical preparation, appropriate diet, a high level of autonomy, for example knowledge of mountain running and maximum vigilance
Runners are strongly advised to participate in less demanding trail races before attempting this race.
