Buttrio (Italy), Thursday 1 May 2014

Held in a lovely wine-producing region in the province of Udine in the Friuli region in north-eastern Italy, the Cognòssi par Cognòssisi is a non-competitive sports event that attracts more than 3000 runners and hikers every year.

Three scenic routes are on offer — 6km, 12km, and 21km long. Participants can still decide on the course which route they want to take.

All routes are hilly loops on mixed terrain (asphalt, gravel and trails) through vineyards, woods, rural areas and pretty villages.

Participants can start at any time between 9am and 9.30am but runners are well advised to start off at 9am as some trails can get rather crowded with hikers.

The entry fees (€ 3) include plenty of exquisite snacks and drinks at the feed stations, for instance grilled sardines, salami, minestrone, red and white wine, fruit salad, ...
