The mountain starts here

The Valdobbiadene Pianezze returns in 2027, once again set against the stunning backdrop of the Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, dominated by Monte Cesen, which gives this competition its unique character.

For both the Trail 24K and the Trail 12K, the start and finish will be in Piazza Marconi, Valdobbiadene.

The history

The Valdobbiadene Pianezze, a historic running event and a symbol of trail running in the Treviso Prealps, was founded in 1996 thanks to the initiative of a group of friends from the local Ski Club and athletics community of Valdobbiadene. One evening among friends, over a small glass of wine and a glass of Prosecco, the idea was born to organize a running challenge between the two associations. The response from the local community was immediate and enthusiastic, rewarding the organizers’ efforts from the very beginning.

Year after year, more and more athletes ventured onto the trails, reaching a peak of 440 registered runners in 2015, the year of the 20th edition. Thanks also to the support of Valdogroup and local Alpini groups, the event continued to grow and strengthen its identity.

After a break in 2016, the organizing committee was renewed and 1007 ASD was established, bringing fresh energy to the event and adapting it to modern trail running standards. In 2019, alongside the historic Vertical 1007, the 24 km Trail was introduced: a spectacular course reaching the slopes and ridgelines of Monte Cesen, further expanding the event’s mountain-running identity.

The 2020 edition was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2021, the race returned in a reduced format and outside its traditional date, limited to a 20 km trail course with start and finish at Villa dei Cedri in Valdobbiadene.

Nel 2022 arriva un’ulteriore svolta: il Trail 24 km sposta partenza e arrivo nella piazza di Valdobbiadene, rafforzando il legame tra la gara e il centro del paese. La Cronoscalata rimane invece fedele al suo tracciato storico, dal cuore di Valdobbiadene fino a Pianezze, lungo il suggestivo sentiero 1007.

Nel 2026 la manifestazione compie un altro importante passo nella sua evoluzione con l’introduzione del Valdobbiadene Pianezze Trail 12K, una distanza più breve ma autentica, pensata per avvicinare nuovi atleti alla corsa in montagna senza rinunciare a dislivello, tecnica e spirito trail. L’edizione segna anche un nuovo traguardo per la manifestazione, che raggiunge oltre i 700 iscritti complessivi nelle tre gare.

Nel 2027 la Valdobbiadene Pianezze raggiunge la sua trentesima edizione, confermandosi un punto di riferimento per il podismo e il trail running nelle Prealpi Trevigiane, grazie alla sinergia tra il comitato organizzatore e una comunità affiatata di appassionati che, anno dopo anno, continuano a far crescere questo evento.
