There is a time of year when the silence of the pastures in Campotenese is broken by the heavy breathing of cyclists and the rhythmic sound of chains: it is the weekend of the Marathon degli Aragonesi.
This competition is not just a high-level sporting event; it is a true celebration of the Pollino National Park. Born to combine a passion for mountain biking with the enhancement of natural and historical heritage, the race leads participants to pedal along paths that once saw the passage of peoples and leaders, offering panoramas ranging from the limestone peaks of the massif to the most hidden valleys.
The Challenge: Sweat and Beauty The Marathon route is renowned among enthusiasts for its variety. Athletes face:
- Vertical Climbs: Sections that test the legs of the best climbers.
- Technical Single Tracks: Adrenaline-pumping descents immersed in beech forests.
- Suggestive Plateaus: Like that of Campotenese, where speed increases and the gaze can sweep across the horizon.
