San Miniato

The city of San Miniato welcomes participants with its historical and architectural beauty. At the end of the route, the arrival in the extraordinary Piazza Duomo will be a unique emotion. Runners will find themselves immersed in a suggestive setting, with the magnificent San Miniato Cathedral above, and the Rocca of Frederick II of Swabia standing majestically in the background, a silent witness to the great history of the city.

Walking along the alleys of San Miniato, you will encounter the fascinating Piazza del Seminario, a place of peace and beauty, which embodies the tranquil soul of the city. Its elegant architectures and open spaces offer an unforgettable view, perfect for a moment of relaxation and admiration after such an intense race.

The city, like a great history book, will reserve for athletes and spectators the opportunity to discover its deep connection with the Via Francigena, and the path that for centuries has linked these lands to the heart of Europe.

San Miniato
A truly special arrival, which will unite sport, culture, and tradition, in the beating heart of San Miniato.

Gambassi Terme

Gambassi Terme welcomes participants in the natural simplicity of an ancient village, rich in historical and architectural beauty, in a context of serene hospitality. The start of stage 30, in Piazza Giuseppe Di Vittorio, will be a unique emotion: to the left the medieval village, straight ahead the entrance to the eighteenth-century park, to the right, in the shade of a large hackberry tree, a refreshment and socialization space typical of a small town with citizens and guests side by side.

After running a hundred meters, runners will find themselves in Piazza Di Vittorio at the entrance to the Thermal Establishment, immersed in a suggestive setting with shady holm oaks that slope towards the Park, witness to silent moments interrupted by the chirping of blackbirds and turtle doves. Walking along the stone road and the red brick walls of the Via Francigena towards Porta a Chianni, you will encounter the fascinating Piazza del Castello, a place of peace and beauty, which embodies the tranquil soul of the village.

The palaces with simple architecture, unchanged for almost a thousand years, elegant in their simplicity, and the open spaces offer an unforgettable view, perfect for a moment of relaxation and admiration after such an intense race. The village of Gambassi Terme will reserve for athletes and spectators the opportunity to discover its deep connection with the Via Francigena, in many places still the same as when the Bishop of Canterbury Sigeric stopped here more than eight centuries ago.
