Perugia

Perugia's hilly centre (450–500m elevation) makes it a climbing stronghold for road cyclists; the Granfondo del Montefeltro (138km) and Augh 2026 (120km) both tackle the Umbrian ridges that radiate from the city. Runners navigate the compact medieval streets and surrounding slopes — the Grifonissima (10km) and Perugia Jazz Half Marathon (21km) use the local terrain to good effect, though training routes tend to be steep rather than flat. The surrounding countryside offers relentless rolling hills and gravel climbs toward the Montefeltro plateau, ideal for cyclists seeking sustained gradient work.
