La Corsa della Bora

La Corsa della Bora is a trail race held in early January near Trieste, situated on the Italian side between Slovenia and the Adriatic Sea. The majority of the distances commence from the coastal town of Sistiana, with the 57 km TransKarst Ultra beginning in Basovizza. As a winter event, the air will be cool, and participants should anticipate feeling the exertion from the outset. The course utilizes trails near the Italian-Slovenian border, crossing small local villages instead of urban roads. The shorter race options cater to a broader audience beyond just ultra runners: the S1 Borin covers 4 km, and the Family Hike & Trail is 14 km. Both are suitable for hiking, allowing families and walkers to participate in the same event without the necessity of competitive running.
