A concentration of effort, strategy, and determination that tells much more than individual races: it speaks of a collective vision, and the Fessura project that unites them.
Trans d'Havet | The Double
In the rugged and evocative heart of the Piccole Dolomiti, Giacomo Forconi transformed expectations into a concrete test of strength, finishing first .
During the 42-kilometer, 2,600-meter Trans d'Havet, he took the lead from the start, setting the pace with determination and clarity. Behind him, Marco Tramet attempted to keep pace, but it was on the Fraccaroli and Tre Croci climbs that Forconi built a significant gap, finishing 20 minutes ahead.
An advantage that goes beyond the numbers, a sign of a solid strategy, optimal physical condition, and an athlete who is establishing himself as one of the main protagonists at the national level.
A performance that leaves no doubt, but confirms Forconi's growing talent.
Over the main distance , 80km and 5,500m+ , valid as the Italian Ultra Trail Championship , Riccardo Pianesi finished 7th overall , once again demonstrating extraordinary endurance over long distances.
A complex race, intelligently managed between severe differences in altitude and technical sections, in a very high-level context.
His performance confirms not only his athletic solidity, but also an increasingly defined strategic maturity, capable of leading him to compete with the best national and international ultra trail performers.
Cima Tauffi | Perseverance and Determination
Marco Brutti put in another great performance, taking second place on the podium at the Cima Tauffi Trail : 60 km and 4,000m+ along a tough route, immersed in the fog and wind of the Tuscan-Emilian Apennines.
A 7 hour and 30 minute race , tackled with lucidity despite the crazy weather: from scorching heat to rain, from sun to cold, on terrain that changed every kilometre: dry rocks, wet scree, mud, roots and sticky sections.
La Thuile | Tamiazzo, high-altitude tenacity
In the Youlaz Valley and along the border ridges , Andrea Tamiazzo completed the 70km and over 4,000m+ of the Trail La Thuile , finishing in 43rd place overall .
A result that goes far beyond the numbers: because the route, among the most technical and spectacular in the Western Alps, is unforgiving. Because every meter gained is a challenge to altitude, to fatigue, to one's own limits.
Tamiazzo kept pace perfectly, demonstrating that true strength lies not only in the podium, but in the ability to stay in the game when the going gets tough.
A test of authentic resilience , which says more than the rankings say.
Monte Amaro Extreme | Sevcenco, grit and precision on living rock
In the wild heart of the Maiella, Ecaterina Sevcenco finished second overall in the Monte Amaro Extreme: 29.5 km and 2,400D+ of pure verticality, including exposed ridges, technical descents and lunar landscapes.
An excellent performance in terms of consistency and management , which confirms his excellent state of form and his growing ability to express himself even on the toughest trails, where every step requires clarity and control.
Ecaterina thus continues to build a season of the highest level, made up of placings, confirmations and new horizons.
Monte Vallatrone Trail | Maresca's winning pace
On the fast and nervous trails of Monte Vallatrone, Mario Maresca , new athlete of the Fessura team , left everyone in line, taking the overall victory in the 18km with 900D+.
A test built with intelligence, explosiveness and great technical mastery , especially in the leg-breaking sections that required constant changes of pace.
On a track that allows no breaks, Maresca demonstrated his ability to dominate short distances with the right mix of endurance, speed and vision of the race .
A debut that leaves its mark and shines the spotlight on a new name, but one already ready to leave a profound mark.
One team, many paths, one direction
Each athlete gave it their all, tackling diverse terrain and mountains with unique characteristics. But what they have in common is having chosen Fessura and wearing the GSR shoes , which have proven to be excellent on every type of trail.
Their versatility and performance have supported every step, transforming every challenge into a winning experience. Because those who choose Fessura aren't just competing in a race: they're embracing a project built on passion, innovation, and authenticity. Together, we're carving out a new path, where every step is a courageous gesture and every finish line a starting point.
