Sunday 16 June, at BrumanoCAI della Valle Imagna in collaboration with Pegarun asd and CSEN outdoor has made an appointment at 128 runners of the sky for the two competitions of Resegone on the side of the green and uncontaminated Imagna valley.
The classic high altitude race”Sky Ridges of Resegone – trophy in memory of Manini Sergio” it has reached its ninth edition, the km are 15.7 for a d+ of 1,300 metres; to the Corse del cielo technicians, Brumano’s Sky is a real one chamois race because the ascents are for climbers with the use of their hands and the paths that descend make the heart leap and put a strain on the ankles and knees, the most feared sections of the Quarenghi peak he was born in Giuff pass they are technically and practically suitable for those who practice mountaineering, this opinion of a true race at the edge of the sky is supported by the men’s record time which is almost two hours.
At 9.00 am from the Brumano sports centre, with very uncertain weather due to banks of fog at high altitude and giant greyish clouds piled up above the heads of the runners and the good organizers from Valdimagni, this 2024 edition began and, as the kilometers passed, is formed in the lead the duo of strong protagonists of the day formed by Pegarun Paolo Poli and from the strong national FISky Luca Carrara.
Poli managed to keep Carrara at bay up until the Giuff pass but then in the final descent to return to the Brumano Carrara sports center he inexorably left the good Poli behind him. Carrara “The North Face” triumphed with the time of 2h04’42” second Poli Paolo 2h06’21”Poli reached the finish line with a bloody scrape on his knee due to a disastrous fall before the finish line, and third Moreno Bolis of the OSA Valmadrera 2h07’57”.

Skyrunner. Runners ranked 56.
TRAIL RING – For the fourth edition of Resegone Ring Trail the km are 15.8 km and the d+ is 1,000 metres, starting from the premise that it is absolutely not a side race because the nervous passages at the Passata, the Erna plains and the Giuff gpm do not offer a muscularly light race, then the nosedive from Giuff in Brumano is a dive for tightrope walkers.
The start took place at the same time as the sky race and the prediction was naturally in favor of the home runner (he is a resident of Brumano) Ivan Angiolinithe strong runner of the Recastello Radici Group did not disappoint expectations and delivered on time won with a time of 1h45’56” for the places of honor the spectators witnessed a great sprint won by Luca Rota in 1h47’35” and therefore the eagle Pegarun third Maurizio Merlini 1h47’36”, a good race for Merlini because Maurizio returned to competition today after a long stop for a knee operation. For Pegarun 25th Baggi Angelo 3rd over 60.
