There will not be the 20k ultratrail in 2025
Dear friend, every curve of the trail, every kilometer conquered, every sunset and every sunrise over the Alpine peaks has been part of an adventure that we have built together since 2016.
The 20k Ultratrail is not just a physical challenge: it is a space where passions meet, where limits are redefined and where the mountain teaches us something new every time.
Yesterday a former 20K finisher sent me a photo of his new tattoo which reminded me of how strong the experience he lived was during the 20K Ultratrail, this always excites me.
What I always wanted to do with the 20K was to “make my mark,” and I know that every 20K finisher has a mark left by this incredible experience.
This year, however, I made a difficult decision: the 20k Ultratrail will not take place.
It is a necessary pause to reflect, imagine and evaluate how to continue this incredible story. The world of Unsupported Bikepacking Adventures is changing a lot and I find myself increasingly distant from this track.
I have to reflect and I have to do it by pedaling.
This is not goodbye. It’s a curve along a path that could lead us to new horizons. Maybe the 20k will return, perhaps in a different form, with a formula that I don’t know yet but that I’m trying to imagine.
To all of you who have pedaled, dreamed and shared this adventure: thank you very much. Your enthusiasm was the driving force of every climb and the wind on the descents.
Stay connected, continue to dream big, and who knows… the mountain could call us again.
With love, Andrea and Paola
