The Stone

The Stone

SWIM COURSE 3.8 KM

 

The departure is set at 4 am, on the other side of the lake, in the town of Tavernola Bergamasca. Athletes will be carried at the starting line by boat.

The course is a straight line that crosses the lake. The point of exit from the water is signaled by a powerful lighthouse to the sky oriented. Sulzano church may also be used as a conspicuous reference point.

A beginning of undoubted charm, all together but only with their emotions that only a challenge like THE STONE can give.

RUN COURSE 38.5 KM - 2200 m D+

 

A TRAIL route on unpaved terrain of 38.5 km on the paths of the upper Valle Camonica. You will climb from 1200 m of T2, in the historic center of Pontedilegno up to 2600 m of arrival at Passo Paradiso.
The first 20 km are designed on a very rough path, not to be underestimated, near Ponte di Legno and the valley floor: you touch the small village of Zoanno, Precasaglio and Villadalegno; then you go on to the opposite side of the valley crossing the center of Temù, go up to Valbione (1,500m altitude) and go back down to Pontedilegno for a well-deserved second break in the crowds and for refreshments in the middle of the course (20km).
This is the best point where the support teams will be able to join the athletes and continue with them for the second part of the route.
The last bumps of the day now begin: going up the ski slope, you reach Passo del Tonale, at 1,880m, where the Base Vita – T3 (km 31) is located with the infamous CUT-OFF at 9.00 pm
Once you have passed the Tonale cut-off, “the doors to Paradise” will open; a last effort for the final 7 km, and 800 m in altitude, on a high mountain path, through the Presena valley, to then reach the coveted finish line at 2,600 m of Passo Paradiso.
