Trail di Portofino 2026

Prepare your quads and your best star smile for a challenging run on the absolute jewel of the Riviera. Put away your tuxedo; red carpets give way to Ligurian earth. Head to the sumptuous region of Liguria, in the chic province of Genoa, Italy. Your body will have to endure a particularly grueling, leg-testing profile to earn the finish line arch. The dirt path immediately throws you into the heart of the splendid Portofino Regional Natural Park. Your effort will require climbing countless rock-cut staircases directly overlooking the sea. The historical immersion becomes fabulous as you descend towards the incredible Abbey of San Fruttuoso, a true medieval treasure accessible only by foot or boat. Navigating these dizzying cliffs undeniably adds soul to overcome the rockiest sections. The Transalpine fervor transforms the small Piazzetta into a noisy arena where fans shout your name. Forget completely silent races; the voices of Italians echo loudly against the beautiful colorful facades! Leaving your running shoes to explore the area guarantees unprecedented thrills with your loved ones. Bring your team to dive a mask into the mystical bay to search for the famous Christ of the Abyss submerged beneath the waves. Then, drive for about half an hour towards Genoa to amaze children with the grandiose tanks of its immense aquarium. Strolling as a couple in the port of Camogli remains an excellent alternative to devour an authentic, hot focaccia. Keep a final ounce of energy to admire Castello Brown majestically overlooking the gulf. Shift into high gear, conquer the Ligurian steps, and leave your mark on this paradise!
