Tuscany Crossing – Italy, April 2013

Consider this for your next big race – Val d’Orcia, a region in the heart of Tuscany, in central Italy.  The farming community of the Val d’Orcia has never surrendered to progress and has always welcomed travellers and pilgrims and always made them welcome.

The Val d’Orcia, or Valdorcia, is a region of Tuscany, central Italy, which extends from the hills south of Siena to Monte Amiata. It is characterised by gentle, carefully cultivataed hills occasionally broken by gullies and by picturesque towns and villages such as Pienza (rebuilt as an “ideal town” in the 15th century under the patronage of Pope Pius II), Radicofani(home to the notorious brigand-hero Ghino di Tacco) and Montalcino (the Brunello di Montalcino is counted among the most prestigious of Italian wines). It is a landscape which has become familiar through its depiction in works of art from the Renaissance painting to the modern photograph.

With it’s rolling hills, mild and dry climate, rugged trails and bucolic backdrop it is a perfect venue to run a fast and unforgettable 100k/50k.
