A very special athletics meeting

Athletes from the entire region, but also from other parts of Italy and abroad, are expected in Bolzano at the CONI sports field in St.-Gertrud-Weg, where the fifth athletics meeting in the city of Bozen-South Tyrol will open in the late afternoon of June 3rd . The sporting event is characterized by some innovations this year, especially in terms of organization: The Bozen Raiffeisen runners club, which has led the meeting in recent years, has now teamed up with the Athletic Club 96 Alperia.

“This year we decided on important collaborations at local and regional level in the interests of athletics. We are organizing the meeting together with Athletic Club 96 Alperia, a prestigious club from Bolzano that has already won many titles. We are also working with two other meetings in Trentino as part of the Speed King & Queen Trentino South Tyrol,” reports Andreas Widmann, President of the Bozen Raiffeisen Runners Club. “This stage series has some very interesting characteristics for intermediate to high level athletes. When it was suggested to us to organize a stage in Bolzano, I informed the president of the Bozen Raiffeisen Runners Club, which also organizes the big BOclassic Südtirol,” adds Bruno Telchini, president of Athletic Club 96 Alperia. The athletics meeting in the city of Bozen South Tyrol became the first stage of the Speed King & Queen Trentino South Tyrol.

Handsome prize money In addition, the athletes in the older categories (“Cadette” and “Cadetti” excluded) will compete in the running distances and in the hurdles for important points for the overall ranking of the Speed King & Queen Trentino South Tyrol.
