It’s only been three editions of the event before daring but the hard work, the passion with which it was built the event is gaining converts all over Italy and beyond. “We thank everyone who every year help us to organize this exciting adventure – have argued – starting, of course, the Running ASD Ronda Gibellina, Castiglionesi Organized by the Group Walkers, volunteers VAB and this year the Historical Group and flag-waving of Castiglion Fiorentino”. An army of volunteers who work indefatigably all year to make the sporting event.

Ghibellina, because Castiglion Fiorentino between the 12th and the 14th century in the struggle for supremacy between the papacy and the emperor had brightened with the latter becoming, among other things, one of the most Ghibelline in Italy. Ronda, because the circuit along the ridge all the beautiful Valle di Chio. And then the enhancement of food and wine of the region. “It ‘s always been our goal – added – to promote the territory and its resources through the tourist-gastronomic event”.

Both the statues that the trophies of Ronda were made by the artist castiglionese Andrea Roggi  as well as a sculpture made by my colleague, always Castiglione, Giuseppe Dorgioni. There are three distances over which athletes will compete.
