Rungger and Eckl triumph at the Bozen City Trail

Hannes Rungger (athlete team) lived up to his role as favorite at the Bozen City Trail. Soon after the start, which took place at 9 a.m. at Waltherplatz, the 36-year-old from Sarner took the lead. On the flat passages and uphill he was able to increase his lead, but downhill his worst opponent, the Haflinger Andreas Reiterer from Telmekom Team Südtirol, was always able to make up ground. In the end, Rungger completed the 31-kilometer route, which led to the Guntschna, Oswald and Virgl promenades, in 2:01.48 hours and was announced as the first on Waltherplatz by the square announcer and Bolzano's former mayor Luigi Spagnolli.

Hannes Rungger won the first Bozen City Trail.

“The three climbs to the Bolzano promenades were very spectacular. The marking also worked great. Compliments to the organizer, that was a great premiere. As far as my race division goes, I pulled away straight after the start. But I had to fight for victory until the end because Andreas (Reiterer) was catching up a lot downhill,” analyzed Rungger. Behind the top athlete from Sarn, Andreas Reiterer came in second place (2:03.04), while local hero Gianmarco Bazzoni (Athletic Club 96 Alperia) from Bolzano completed the podium (2:04.31). With Hermann Achmüller (4th/Running Club Pustertal), Stefan Tschurtschenthaler (5th/ASV Jenesien Soltnflitzer) and Alexander Rabensteiner (6th/Bergamo Stars Atletica) there were also well-known athletes from the South Tyrolean running scene. Eckl launches the attack on the descent from Kalvarienberg In the women's race, the day's victory went to Angelika Eckl. The 47-year-old from the South Tyrol Running Club made the decisive attack around four kilometers from the finish when she passed Irene Senfter (South Tyrol Team Club), who later came in second place. “Before the race I only knew the Guntschna promenade, the other two promenades were new to me. It was a really great race and it was a lot of fun. The route is simply wonderful,” praised winner Eckl, who recorded a time of 2:39.03 hours. Third place went to Tiziana Pignatelli (ASV Jenesien Soltnflitzer), who arrived in the “Bozen living room” after 2:56.25. Angelika Eckl was the fastest woman.

In addition to the Bozen City Trail, participants also had the choice of the Bozen City Run, which is about half as long (16 km/400 meters in altitude). Here Herbert Gross (ASV Telmekom Team Südtirol) came out on top with a time of 1:09.21 hours. The man from Sarn relegated Marco Mondavio (1:12.14) and Roberto Marchelli (Ass. Sport. Dilettant. Dribbling/1:13.13) to their places. In the women's race, Verena Pratzner from the Telmekom team was ahead, winning in 1:20.09. Second place went to Alessandra Prezzi (Ass. Sport. Dilettant. Dribbling/1:21.50), third place went to the young Sarner Barbara Vasselai (ASC LF Sarntal Raiffeisen/1:22.14). A successful premiere that leaves you wanting more Many families tackled the Bozen City Enjoy in the wonderful autumn weather. In the non-competitive run, the participants ran on a 6 kilometer long course in the heart of Bolzano. They had the opportunity to actively explore the beauties of the city without time pressure. At the same time there was the opportunity to taste local specialties on a gourmet mile.

“We are very happy that the premiere of our run was so well received. This was a more than successful test, which motivates us to organize our running festival again next year. We congratulate the winners on their great performance. In our eyes, everyone who actively explored our wonderful city of Bolzano today is a winner - whether on the long, medium or short route. Our thanks go to the sponsors, but above all to the countless volunteers who made this great event possible,” said the OC bosses Roberta Agosti (Bozen Tourist Office), Dorothea Kelderer (SC Neugries) and Sonja Abrate (South Tyrol Ecological Institute). ) finally.
