The three competitive races<\/strong>, will start from the central Piazza del Popolo, crossing the historic center. They will exit through Porta al Cassero<\/strong>, one of the six gates allowing access to the city, adjacent to the 14th-century Fortress<\/strong>, built in the highest part of the medieval town.<\/p>

Crossing through woods, vineyards, home to Brunello di Montalcino, villages, and farms, the route will reach the Banfi Castle \u2013 Poggio alle Mura<\/strong>, whose first nucleus was built before the year 1000, imposing on a strategic hill for controlling the confluence of the Orcia and Ombrone rivers<\/strong>.<\/p>

The path momentarily leaves the Val d’Orcia<\/strong> to climb towards the small medieval village of Sant’Angelo in Colle<\/strong>. Another descent into the valley and then a climb towards the Ventolaio<\/strong> (by name and in fact!), where the Brunello Crossing 45<\/strong> path rejoins with Brunello Crossing 24<\/strong>.<\/p>

A steep descent called “Il Patataio<\/strong>,” with a breathtaking view of the Val d’Orcia and the backdrop of Mount Amiata<\/strong>, brings athletes to cross another medieval village: Castelnuovo dell’Abate<\/strong>. A few hundred meters and you reach the Abbey of Sant’Antimo<\/strong>, a Romanesque-style church where Charlemagne<\/strong>, returning from Rome through the Via Francigena<\/strong>, initiated the construction of the monastery in 781.<\/p>

Leaving behind the monastery complex, with a continuous alternation of woods and vineyards, the route ascends towards Il Cocco<\/strong>, one of the highest points of the entire course, where the Brunello Crossing 14<\/strong> also joins before continuing towards Montalcino, entering the town through another old city gate: Porta Cerbaia<\/strong>, to travel the main street until reaching the finish in Piazza del Popolo<\/strong>.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
