Ginosa Rivolta Trail

Ginosa Rivolta Trail

The organiser lists it in the 20K category, but the published distance is 35 km with 350 m of climbing. Ginosa’s old centre sits above a ravine that wraps around it in a horseshoe for about ten kilometres. The course passes Rivolta, a village cut into the rock with houses, cisterns and rock churches that the organiser says were lived in until a few decades ago, below the eleventh-century Norman castle.

From there it crosses the Terra delle Gravine toward the mouth of the river Lato, where the land meets the water, and opens onto the Ionian coast for the finish at Castellaneta Marina. It is mostly downhill in character, with more descent than ascent on the way to the sea, and five hours for 35 km asks for steady running.

This page covers the 2026 edition. For friends at the finish, two waves fifteen minutes apart and a five-hour window make arrival times spread out. On the runner’s own Livebib link they see the position on the course line, distance covered and a finish estimate that updates as the race goes, with the position carried forward and marked as estimated where the signal drops.
