The 3 August
The Oriente is a 20km mountain run with a 1500m ascent. The craze for outdoor sports, and mountain races in particular, led a handful of mountain enthusiasts to organise what was to become the must-do race for trail runners: "L'Oriente" in the Renosu massif.
This 20-kilometre race winds its way along steep paths, through the Laricio pines, following in the ancestral footsteps of the ancient Corsican shepherds, and taking each athlete over the aerial ridges that will lead them to the foot of the most beautiful rocky peaks in the massif: "i Pinzi Curbini".
The Oriente combines sport, effort and the discovery of a majestic site that is still preserved and that each and every one of us strives to protect.
The Course de l'Oriente is part of the Skyrunner National Series challenge.
