Approximately 200 runners from seven countries made their way to the Karst Plateau near the port of Trieste on Sunday for this year's Cronotraversata del Maestro, a fascinating and unique running event in northern Italy.

Participants ran an 800-metre loop through the village of Borgo Grotta Gigante before they dashed through a fairy-tale world of stalagmites and stalagtites in one of the world's largest show caves, the truly gigantic Grotta Gigante.

The entry fees (15 euros) included a really nice technical T-shirt, plenty of snacks and drinks in the start/finish area, a pasta al pomodoro meal after the race, lovely prizes for the best finishers, and a free guided tour through the cave in the afternoon.

Please find below some pictures from the first part of the course.
