General Info
The 15th October 2017 will take place the 11th Chianti Marathon at Castelnuovo
Beradenga, (15 km from Siena), witch is included in the Italian list of "Slow Cities and centre
of the Cities of the Wine" .
“And event like Ecomaratona-said the deputy mayor of Castelnuovo Berardenga, Fabrizio Nepihad been supported by our government from the beginning, becouse it combines perfectly the
value of sport with the regard of the territory.
The wineries tour only reinforces further this bond, also allowing a tourist revival in a month, that
of October, when the main flow of tourist has gone. It can be a source of revenue for the
companies of our district in a time when there is more need than ever. Without omitting that it

the world.”
For the whole day of Saturday and Sunday the Mercantale is organized, near the starting and
finish area and in the main streets of the country, with typical products of the territory, like

, a rich in history and an imposing castle with an unique position . Alt 490 mt asl
The first 5 km are flat following the main road , ideal to warm up , but with a minimum
difference in height until reaching the Cacchiano Castle where you will find the first refreshment.
And the ideal vantage point is in the direction of Val d' Orcia and Siena in the direction of the
hills of Chianti Radda and Gaiole . Alt 505 mt asl.
Through a short and easy path you will go down towards the village San Marcellino .
Here begins a long descent through dirt roads, bordering vineyards and olive groves, which will
take you to the lowest point of the path to Coltibuono, a modern cellar where you will find a rich
refreshment (280 mt asl). Then it continues with a white road in a gentle slope towards the
castle of Brolio, catering to 15 km, 405 mt asl. Through vineyards and woods we will arrive at
the village of San Felice, a company of Chianti Classico, also spectacular in the landscape, 20
km 415 mt asl. Next to the wine cellar you will find the rest and the scents of the grape harvest
and new wine. Now you will continue in the direction of Villa a Sesta, linking up to the path of 21
km edition 2015. Always surrounded by a spectacular panorama you will arrive at km 25 in the
village of Villa a Sesta alt 420 mt asl with a rich refreshment. From this point you filleted on the
old route of the marathon. You will find the 3 km long climb that takes you to field 640 mt asl.
This is the turning point of the path, so it must be addressed carefully to avoid wasting energy.
Campi is the highest point in the route and the most spectacular landscape; shortly after you will
arrive at the refreshment, organised by our friends of Risorti di Buonconveto together with the
hunters of Castelnuovo. It continues through the vineyards of Tenuta di Arceno with special
waves that follow the terrain inclinations. It feels like you enter a magical land with an avenue of
cypresses that every year surprises runners that cross, where at the top you'll have a
spectacular dining.
Then you will face a descent up to km 38 where, after a short flat stretch, you come out of dirt
road to get into a forest path where, for almost 1 km, you will face the last climb. On the top
there will be the last refreshment, organised by friends of Bulletta Bike and you have a
panoramic view over the village of Castelnuovo , Val d' Orcia and Monte Amiata in the
background .There are only 2 km left of a lightly downhill and coming from vineyards, olive
groves and a cipressato avenue you will suddenly find yourself al the finish line, feeling the
satisfaction of having lived a unique experience in a land where time has stood still.
To reach the castle of Brolio for the start of the 42K ( about 12 km from Castelnuovo ) , you will

Welcome...
find the bus shuttle at 7.15 am. Soon you will be informed specifically about the timetable the
transfer of the athletes and bags .
We believe that the new part of the route will give more motivation to tackle not a marathon but
a new experience where, even without the stop watch on your wrist, you can feel emotions and
sensations that go beyond the simple timekeeping performance, and as mentioned before,
suitable for all those who love running and are prepared on the distance.

TRAIL DEL LUCA - 14K - D+ 300
9 / 30
Welcome...
Also the "Trail del Luca" is confirmed for the 2017 edition: the 14 km trial that crosses the
Tenuta of Arceno, which is scheduled for Sunday 15th at 9:30 am from San Gusmè.
It is a competitive race suitable for all runners, even those who have never run a trail, in gravel
roads, clean and well-groomed, ideal for those who want to participate in this wonderful event
but do not have the preparation for the most demanding races, like "Chianti Marathon - 42 K" or
"Chianti Classico Trail - 21 K".
The start will be in front of the village of San Gusmè between the rows of vines of Arceno. You
can admire the geometry of the rows which resembles the waves of the sea, making the
landscape and the view around you even more spectacular. Like last year, we have added a
ring of 2,5 km from the second km, which joins the old route with a total altitude of 300 meters of
elevation gain. Athletes can leave their bags at the starting point, these will then be available in
Castelnuovo Berardenga after the arrival (near Teatro Alfieri, about 100 mt from arrival).
It is advisable to reach the start by your own means or accompanied. A shuttle service for the
return to San Gusmé parking area will be available (runs every 20 minutes from 11:00 am to
13:00 am).
The first stretch of 800 meters will be a downhill between the rows, a soft start, useful to get the
rhythm. At the end of the vineyard you will skirt around a cypress walk with a short but
challenging climb (300 mt). Then you will continue for a long and easy downhill stretch until
1,90 km from the start. From this point you will face a steep path always in the woods in the
direction of San Gusme, turning up the driveway of the cypresses. Now you will skirt around the
hamlets and the height of the Le Trosce farm you will find a refreshment with the enthusiasm of
the Friends of the Chianina di Montepulciano and a wonderful panoramic view (we are at km
3.40). Always downhill you will continue along the vineyards until 4.5 km.
At this point you will enter into a field road next to vineyards and at 4.8 km you will find a
challenging and short climb that will continue flat. On the way you will admire Villa Arceno first
and then the farm Tenuta di Arceno, which has the merit of taking care of the vines and the
territory of Arceno. This stretch of path will thrill you for the beauty of nature and of the houses
and on the sixth km you will enter the famous avenue of ancient cypress trees, among the
largest ones. The first part is flat but on uphill at the end, where you will find refreshment

organized by Rapolano friends of Valenti group, where you feel like attending a party at the
seventh km. always continuing on a white road for another km downhill, and then after a flat
stretch you will enter the forest where at tenth km you will cross a ford of Ombrone river.Do not
panic, it is close to the starting source and will be a very small stream. Soon after you start a
path with a challenging climb of 700 meters long, but it will be the last one. At the eleventh km
out of the woods you will find the last refreshment run by our friends of Bulletta bike. You will
face a flat section with a wonderful panoramic view, being able to observe the finish line just
below you.
In fact, after a slight descent, you will enter Castelnuovo where in Marconi square there will be a
rich refreshment waiting for you. Moreover, inside the gym "La Bulletta", you will have the
chance to make a regerating shower and to eat a tasty lunch in a location which is now more
comfortable than it was the past.

architectures referred to the construction of the XI century. The curious bell tower with a
cylindrical structure is characterised by horizontal courses of stone with gravels and bricks: it
