Right from the start in Castiglione d'Orcia you can sense the desire of a people who immediately embrace the idea of creating an important event, the organization is almost at a family level but the will and passion are not lacking.

The main aim is to create a sense of pride and belonging in the local community, promote awareness of local traditions and encourage a form of responsible sports tourism. An event that not only celebrates sport and trail running but also  the unique cultural heritage of the area, and which can contribute to the growth of the local economy through the promotion of businesses and tourism.

An event that demonstrates how the passion of the people who live in an area can be transformed into an opportunity to share through sport and local culture, promoting the sustainable development of an area. 

Roberto Amaddii's task has always been to find and coordinate people, groups and associations who had a common objective: the desire to make Valdorcia, the territory and local traditions known across long distances. Trail running offers the opportunity to explore beautiful natural environments, such as woods, mountains, hiking trails and breathtaking landscapes and in Valdorcia in the most complete Tuscany there can be, it is easy to discover how rewarding it is to run in these scenarios. 

Year after year the organizing committee has grown with enthusiasm and passion, the hard core formed by the community of Castiglione d'Orcia has increased, also involving the associations of the neighboring towns, there are four municipalities involved and 14 villages crossed which contribute with their refreshments to the success of an event that has grown over time.

During these editions the ideas did not stop, new proposals coming from Roberto Amaddii were endorsed by the whole territory and new challenges arose which contributed to the growth of interest and participants.
