Numbers in hand, the Italian-Swiss organizing committee will see 20 countries represented at the starting line; in detail, 230 athletes are accredited for the main 70km test, 200 will run the 30 and another 270 the short 15km. To these will then be added all the competitors of the various non-competitive side events such as Mini DoubleW for children aged 0 to 13 with two routes; a fun one for the little ones, one between the streets of the center of Villa di Tirano and the paths of the vineyards. For those who don’t run, not to be missed DoppiaWalking, charity walk from Tirano to Villa di Tirano on the last km of DoppiaW (in this case all the proceeds will be donated to the Maria Letizia Verga Onlus Committee. The Dappertutto joelettes will also be present). Friday afternoon, before the youngest race, the 2024 new entry: Shakeout Runa 6km run to test Altra Running’s Trail footwear collection

BIND:
despite the presence of a lot of snow at high altitude which forced the organizing committee to find valid alternatives, the encouraging weather forecast for Saturday makes the 70K (4500m D+ and 19 hours of time limit), the 30K (2100m up , maximum time 9 hours) and the 15K (750m up without time gates). For the competitors, each of these itineraries will be a real journey made of nature, emotions and unforgettable memories between Valtellina, Valposchiavo or the two valleys from which the event takes its name. «As announced during the presentation, for us snow at high altitude is an opportunity to discover new paths – declared route manager Christian Bellesini -. The first common climb of the two long trials, from Lovero to Rifugio Schiazzera, will in all respects be one of the hardest of the trail races with almost 2000 meters of altitude difference in just under 10km. Then it will be a succession of long single tracks, real traverses between very different landscapes including the path of the sun, the eat and drink between Zocca and Sasso del Gallo, the highest one, between Zocche and Prà Campo. We will touch Pian Cavallino, with the view of the Bernina group, without forgetting San Romerio overlooking the lake or Lake Poschiavo, which the athletes will travel alongside the Bernina Red Train. In short, this year too we will have a great DoppiaW Ultra.”

WHERE TO SEE DOUBLEW
For companions and enthusiasts, the race can be followed at the finish line where a giant screen will be set up with the commentary by Silvano Gadin, online thanks to the Sete Track Trackers that each athlete is equipped with also for safety reasons, thus giving a good hand to those over 200 volunteers present. Furthermore, on the frequencies of Tsn, media partner of the event, the live broadcast will be visible on channel 85 from 09:00. To follow the athletes on the race route, we recommend the Rifugio Schiazzera, easily reachable by car, and San Romerio.
