Tuscany Crossing Press Release
The Organizing Committee of the "Tuscany Crossing" has decided to postpone the 2021 event again,
The date as announced through social media will be the weekend 24/25 September 2021….
We can say that we could wait, after the date of April there are three months left and anything can happen ... true but preparing an Ultra that is 50 or 100 km or 100 miles is not easy, in any way you want to do it takes training and time for the programming and for this we would not have been respectful towards the athletes.
The government has extended the state of Emergency to April 30 and the DCPM is valid until March 5.
We had already expressed our concerns in the November communiqué and we had already established the reserve date by evaluating our provincial calendar.
The area where the race takes place, which we ourselves do not define as a pure trail if intended to run only through woods and mountains ... is rich in nature and history, through villages and rural centers that in this period have remained on the edge of the health emergency but the departure of 800 athletes from a village of 1000 inhabitants could be seen as a threat.
Our desire to restart as an organization is great but we have to deal with these realities and with the associations that have always supported us and at this time they may be in difficulty in finding volunteers, probably in September hoping for the attenuation of the virus in the summer and the vaccine. the situation should be better or at least not worse than now.
The strong point of our competition was the party, dinner or lunch before and after, the night all together in the gym, breakfast at any time of the morning or night waiting for the departure and arrival of the last broom ... party and welcome to the passage in the countries, the weekend in company, the holiday with the family, the comparison and exchange with trailers from all over the world (we have always had 20% of foreigners) all things that in this moment I'm in doubt.
At this moment we should have run the races with the protocols you know with refreshments reduced to a minimum differentiated departures, without showers or gyms, everything possible but as a Committee we do not feel it ... it is not our Tuscany that we have created and that we want to keep.
Registrations will reopen for everyone on January 24th until the maximum number of 900 people for all races is reached… pre-registered participants have had a pre-registration voucher which will expire on January 23rd…. Those who have not confirmed on that date will have to start from scratch. All instructions can be found on our website.
REGULATION for postponements and refunds:
In the event of a further postponement of the race due to a health emergency, all registrations will be transferred to the new date which will be 24/25 September 2021 and those who renounce within one month of the suspension will be able to receive a refund of 75%, or transferred to 2022, after the 50% refund as above will be valid, if the 2021 event is canceled also in September all registrations will be passed to 2022 or refunded at 75%.

11/11/2020 PRESS RELEASE
The organizing committee of Tuscany Crossing, which met following the current situation of the health emergency due to COVID-19 and the developments of the same, decided as follows:
The date of the eighth edition of Tuscany Crossing is confirmed as previously communicated will be 23/24 April 2021,
In the first days of January 2021, participants will be asked to confirm and regularize their position, in the case of unconfirmed registrations or an increase in participants on January 15, registrations will be reopened until the available places are completed.
The committee has also decided on a reserve date in the event of postponement which will be 24/25 September 2021.
The shorter distance will return to 53 km (due to the fact of combining the routes as much as possible and obtaining a better distribution of refreshments.
On the site you will find the traces of the race routes (not 100% definitive)
This decision to prepare a reserve date right now is due to the current situation, all of us would have hoped at the time of the postponement decided in April 2020 to have been able to act safely at this point, but the current situation of the exit of possible treatments and above all a mass vaccination and in any case an end of the emergency in a short time does not bode well at the moment.
We all would like to keep the original date because our race was born to enhance the Val d'Orcia in spring at the best time for its colors, but we must also think about the fact that ours is not just a race for us but it is above all a event for our territory, an event that not only moves the 800 athletes registered to date (we would like even more ..), but with them move families who come to spend days of leisure in our farmhouses and hotels, about 500 and passes volunteers who work for free to welcome athletes so on balance in those days around the event gravitate over 2000 people.
In addition we would not want to give up those moments of conviviality that have characterized us in previous years, the briefing, the pre-race and post-race lunch or dinner, after all, all the athletes will have to eat either with us or in restaurants, we have always available the gym and spaces where you can sleep independently both before and after the race and all simple and beautiful things in normality but today not easy.
As previously said, our wish is to run in April, in the early days of 2021 we should have a clearer picture of the situation ... and maybe that will be the time for further clarifications, we trust in the understanding of the participants who have learned during these to appreciate our passion and our fairness and we would like to continue to maintain them, we will also conduct a survey among the registered athletes to make them participate in our decisions.
