Great traffic of athletes, a thousand, at the start (and arrival) Saturday, July 14th, in the three races (30, 55 and 105 km) of the Gran Trail Courmayeur, in its sixth edition. Unlike the past, departures and arrivals have had as their epicenter in Piazza Brocherel, in the center of Courmayeur, to the advantage of welcoming the spectators. A choice that found everyone happily agree: the athletes, the tourists - mostly foreigners - and, certainly not the last, the sponsors and the traders.
