The heart shaped Lake Scanno in the mountains of Abruzzo is the home of the 2nd XTERRA event in Italy. A race that has built its reputation as one of the hardest in Europe with some steep and long climbs, reaching the ski slopes on top of the mountains of the Abruzzo National Park around the lake. The challenge continues with some demanding downhill trails both on bike and the run that will take you to the shores of the beautiful lake to receive your finisher medal.
