Skymarathon delle Grigne, the return of the legend

Which athlete has not heard at least once about the “(great) Trofeo Scaccabarozzi"?

Those who remember describe it as something massive, a glorious memory of the very first races of Skyrunning that rewards tenacity as well as strength, the head as well as the legs.

It was September 30th 2001, Fabio Meraldi was the first to cross the finish line of the first edition of the Sentiero delle Grigne “Trofeo Scaccabarozzi”.
For the next 11 years the path has seen the birth of great athletes of the international scene.

8 years have passed since that goodbye, which would have meant for many the farewell from their first great love. Luckily that chapter was not the last of the great book titled to the Valsassina Skyrunning. Like in the best scripts of romantic comedies, the unexpected twist is guaranteed and the ending is expected full of good feelings.
