This Short version of the MBTrail running is perfect for those approaching the world of Trail running: a trail in the quietness of nature and highly scenic that will get you in touch with the real Monte Baldo and its incredible scenery! Despite its reduced length, the course embraces all the characteristic features of the conformation of the mountain’s western slope: breathtaking climbs, singletrack paths, and technical sections to be tackled with maximum concentration. This circular course goes northward from Malcesine; after 2km of cobbled road, it enters a trail until km 5, where there is the first refreshing station, next to some recently discovered trenches dating back to the First World War. Here the course starts climbing for an elevation gain of 400mt in 2km, reaching one of its two highest points (713m ASL). The next 5km turn southward with a series of ups and downs until km 11.8, at the intermediate cable car station, where there is the second refreshing station. From here on, the more flowing and runnable part of the race begins with gradual loss of elevation initially on trail and in the last 1.5Km on cobblestones/asphalt to the town of Malcesine.
