The Krash Trail is a prominent off-road running event scheduled for Friday, May 1, 2026, set within the scenic landscape of the Romagna region in Italy. Starting from the medieval village of Brisighella, the race navigates through the rugged terrain of the Vena del Gesso Romagnola. This event is designed to showcase the natural beauty of the area, taking participants across panoramic ridges and the characteristic "calanchi" (clay badlands) that define the hills between Faenza and Brisighella.
| Race Distance | Elevation Gain (D+) | Start Time | Route Flow |
|---|---|---|---|
| Long Course | 33 km / 1200 m | 08:30 AM | Brisighella to Faenza |
| Short Course | 21 km / 700 m | 09:00 AM | Brisighella to Faenza |
Geographically, Brisighella is recognized as one of Italy's most beautiful villages, nestled at the foot of the Tuscan-Romagnolo Apennines. The trails involve technical sections over gypsum rock and steep clay slopes, which can become quite challenging depending on spring rainfall. In early May, the weather in the Emilia-Romagna foothills is typically pleasant, with average temperatures around 19°C (66°F), though the exposed ridges can be subject to significant wind and direct sun exposure. Both distances offer a point-to-point experience, concluding in the nearby city of Faenza, famous for its historic ceramics.
Logistically, the event is organized by Leopodistica, with registration managed through their official portal. Both race distances depart from the center of Brisighella, but they differ in start times and technical intensity. The point-to-point nature of the course requires participants to coordinate transportation between the Faenza finish line and the Brisighella start. Detailed race terms, privacy policies, and refund conditions are provided by the organizers to ensure a safe and professional competitive environment. Inquiries regarding the 2026 edition can be directed to the Leopodistica team via their dedicated contact email.
