Costa Verde Trail
The Costa Verde Trail is the only course of the weekend that does not travel to the sea, because it starts there. The organiser describes ten kilometres through the old pine forest of Castellaneta Marina, among fossil dunes, with a gentle rise and fall in the shade of the trees toward the Ionian Sea and the golden sand of a Blue Flag coastline.
On the way it passes watchtowers that, according to the organiser, were built centuries ago to protect this coast from Saracen raids. Fifty metres of climbing and a two-hour limit make it the race of the weekend for a first trail, for a companion of someone running a longer distance, or for anyone who wants a run on the sand on Saturday afternoon.
This page covers the 2026 edition. A 17:00 start in late October means the run moves toward dusk under the pines. Family and friends who open the runner’s own Livebib link in a browser, with no account and no app, see the position on the course line, distance covered and a finish estimate that updates as the race goes.
