Puglia by UTMB

The UTMB World Series today announces the first new race to their calendar: Puglia by UTMB is the fourth event in Italy and joins Lavaredo, Chianti, and Monterosa Walser Waeg. Puglia will be held in November and is already on the schedule for this year, 2025. From the technical Director Pierdavide Losavio in the press email:

“Our trail through the Regional Natural Park of the Gravine is much more than just a race: it is an immersion into the heart of a wild and unspoiled territory. Under the gentle November sun, between centuries-old olive trees and the hidden treasures of the Gravine, every step is an invitation to savour the untamed beauty of Puglia. Here, effort goes hand in hand with wonder, in a golden light that embraces the landscape. It is an authentic adventure where good weather, nature, and passion come together to create unforgettable memories.”

Exact race distances will be announced shortly with registrations opening in mid-April.

With their full calendar unveiling a few weeks ago I wasn’t sure if they were slowing down in adding new events, as this calendar felt pretty final – for this year at least. Clearly I was wrong.
