Back by popular demand and a decade since its first visit to Limone, the Skyrunner® World Series has today announced that it will return to the shores of Lake Garda, this time for the 2023 Limone Xtreme SkyMasters.
The 2023 SkyMasters event will be part of the 12th edition of Limone Xtreme, taking place on the weekend of the 28th - 29th of October. Only the season’s best skyrunners, who have qualified throughout the year, will be at the starting line.
Marcello Ugazio, the Italian FISKY champion, left everyone behind in the Vertical de la Mughéra. Italy’s Camilla Magliano won the women’s category of the race. About eighty skyrunners were on the starting line of the first of two races taking place in the striking location of Alto Garda.
Roberto Delorenzi and Fabiola Conti won Limone Extreme 2022, leading their team to victory for the first “Skyrunning Team Awards.” Joining them in the celebrations are the other athletes of the Skyrunning Community Gianluca Ghiano, Martina Cumerlato and Daniele Felicetti. Team Scarpa and Pegarun took second and third place.
Registrations for Limone Skyrunning Extreme will officially close on Thursday evening, but undecided athletes of the last minute will have a chance to grab a bib on Saturday morning at the Race Office in Limone Sul Garda on Via Caldogno near the Convention Hall. Despite the constantly evolving starting list, the challenge for the first "Skyrunning Team Awards" title — or what has already been defined as the "world championship for private teams" — expects a close race between Scarpa, La Sportiva and Salomon ... but there is no shortage of outsiders.

The program includes the legendary Vertical de la Mughéra, the final of ISF's VK OPEN Championship, followed by the sky race that will award the first edition of the “Skyrunning Team Awards,” a sort of world championship for private teams with awesome prizes.
