    Rules Tartufo Running®

     

    INTRODUCTION:

    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.

    The routes of the TTR® are certified with  UTMB  and  ITRA and are worth the following points:
