The 21km race combines the speed of short distances with the technical complexity of mountain running. With 21 kilometers and approximately 950 meters of elevation gain, it presents itself as a true high-altitude "Half Marathon": demanding, tense, and never linear.

Developed on the most dynamic section of the circuit, the route reduces the long management phases typical of the Ultra, making room for a tight pace and continuous relaunches.
