It was one such lovely Saturday where trail running was the only thing you want to do rather than keeping your eyes stuck to the ever-radiating screen of your laptop. It was 22km trail in Regional Park of Beigua, which was well-marked with aid stations at key points.

 

I had already hiked through these trails plenty of times over the past few years, so I was quite aware of many trails around these mountains.

The route overlaps with the 400km ALVI Trail which is in the plan for next year, which covers major sections of Liguria. This route also crosses the Mont Reixa (1183m) and Passo della gava (450m) which gives a spectacular view.

There were lot of old people who ran and finished the race quite strongly. Trail running is a big thing in Italy, almost lot of people who volunteered were also finishers of big events from Europe.

One must not miss the Gran Trail Rensen, Arenzano during their visit to Liguria, as it goes beautiful views of the mountains and sea with local food like Focaccia al pesto, noci, gelato.

The plan in 2020 is to try the 70km trail.
