Castellaneta Undeground Trail
Castellaneta, birthplace of silent film legend Rudolph Valentino, is the starting point for this 50 km race with 1000 m of elevation gain. Here you become the protagonist of an almost cinematic route, discovering underground caves and rock churches carved into the same stone that has sheltered this land for centuries, alongside stretches of the ancient Appian Way and centuries-old olive trees that have given Puglia its olive oil for generations, one of the region's finest culinary treasures.
Amidst the scents of Mediterranean scrub and the shade of pine forests, the route leads you to the Gulf of Taranto, crossing the finish line right at the shore of Castellaneta Marina.
