Set in the picturesque rolling countryside to the north of Udine, a beautiful old city in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region in north-eastern Italy, the Cjaminade di San Josef is a non-competitive event that is popular with runners and walkers alike.

It forms part of the Sagra di San Giuseppe festival which is held annually in March in the village of Laipacco di Tricesimo.

Two very scenic routes are on offer, 7km and 14km long.

Both routes are well marked and on mixed terrain, mostly on trails. Some sections are on asphalt. On a rainy day, some of the trails can become a bit muddy, so you may prefer to take your trail shoes.

You will run (or walk) through farmland, woods, vineyards and along the River Cormor, and you will also pass a number of truly impressive villas.

With a bit of luck, you may also spot the odd domestic animal ...
