Doganaccia Trail, photos and rankings

Pistoia, 8 June 2025 – The 5th edition of the Doganaccia Trail took place with great participation, which this year also awarded the 1st Marco Ceccarelli Trophy, in memory of the athlete and friend who passed away. The event, divided into three different routes, offered opportunities for everyone: two competitive routes of 27 km (with 1550 meters of altitude difference) and 15 km (950 meters of altitude difference), as well as a non-competitive 7 km walk, ideal for families and trekking enthusiasts. The queen route, the 27 km one, put the athletes to the test with a breathtaking itinerary: starting from Croce Arcana, crossing the ridge to Monte Lancino, then returning to Doganaccia passing through the locality Le Roncacce.

The passage of the walk to Lago San Giovanni di Gualberto was also suggestive, which gave emotions and unforgettable panoramic views. The event was organized by Doganaccia 2000, with the technical support of ASDC Silvano Fedi of Pistoia and Lega UISP of Pistoia, confirming the synergy between sport and territory.
