ANNECY, France Dec. 20, 2022 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

The Golden Trail World Series now moves to 2023 with a new schedule and final

in Italy after an exciting 2022 season that ended in a spectacular final in

Madeira, with the wins of Remi Bonnet (Team Salomon / Red Bull, Switzerland)

and Nienke Brinkman (Team Nike Trail, Netherlands). Here's the program!

A year of great classics

For its 2023 edition, the Golden Trail World Series returns to the trails that

made it a success and the runners enjoyed. In addition to the three essential

classics -- Zegama, Marathon du Mont-Blanc, Sierre-Zinal—there will also be two

other GTWS races this year: the Dolomyths Run in Italy and the Pikes Peak

Ascent in the United States. There will only be one new event this 2023 season:

the Mammoth Trail Fest Mammoth 26K in California.

"Through this program, we offer runners the opportunity to participate in

iconic races and a true trail running celebration every weekend," said Gregory

Vollet, Director of the Golden Trail Series. These highly anticipated events

have a spirit of their own. Take the Dolomyths Run, for example; in addition to

its trail through the Dolomites and the beautiful scenery it covers, the race

will celebrate its 25th anniversary this year, which promises an even more

exceptional experience!"

A final in Italy

In 2023, the Liguria region of Italy was chosen to host the Golden Trail World

Series Grand Final. The event—Il Golfo dell'Isola Trail Race—will consist of a

prologue and a run of approximately 25 km with 1,200 m D+. The women's prologue

will be on the Thursday and the men's on the Friday, and the women's race is on

the Saturday, while the men's is on the Sunday. All races are open to everyone

and will feature both OPEN and ELITES ranking, as well as a team ranking of the

best Golden Trail National Series. "We chose this option to offer the same

media exposure to both the women's and men's categories," says Gregory Vollet.

"This way, we will be able to follow the battles at the head of the race from

start to finish, for both men and women. We are confident that the athletes

will support their opponents if they're not running, which also gives you more

of a show from the sidelines!"
