Terni

Terni sits in the Umbrian valley where the Nera and Serra rivers meet, with the Apennines rising steeply to the east. Runners use the flat Maratona delle Acque Terni along the river corridors, while serious climbers head 30km east to Monte Terminillo (2213m) for the Monte Terminillo Cycling Granfondo, a steep gravel and tarmac ascent that anchors the regional cycling calendar. The local running circuit includes La Stracittadina di Terni and the 0-5000 d'Acciaio 5K, but the real cycling draw is the network of MTB routes through the Farfa valley and surrounding limestone terrain—Valle del Farfa MTB and Leonessa Marathon Cup MTB both test technical endurance within an hour's ride.
