Corriminiera Memorial Coppi Daniele Tropicana

Running through the mines of Mount Amiata

The Corriminiera Memorial Coppi Daniele Tropicana is one of the most evocative running events in southern Tuscany. It takes place in Abbadia San Salvatore, in the province of Siena, inside the Mining Museum Park. Visitors here won't find just any circuit, but a track that crosses the squares, tunnels, and forests of the ancient Amiata mercury district, one of the most important in Europe until the second half of the 20th century.

A race in the heart of mining history

The event is organized by UISP Abbadia San Salvatore in collaboration with the Mining Museum Park and the Municipality, and is ideally linked to the National Mining Day. It is much more than a race: it is a way to rediscover the identity of a town built around underground work, now transformed into a place of culture, hiking, and slow tourism at the foot of the old extinct volcano of Mount Amiata.

Two ways to experience the course

The event offers two complementary formats:

• Competitive race of approximately 9.7 km, consisting of two laps within the mining perimeter with a passage through the Mining Museum tunnel;
• Leisure walk of approximately 11 km, open to everyone, with a loop through the mining perimeter and the chestnut forest, crossing the Cipriana, Sant'Antonio, and Pozzaroni squares.

Those who do not wish to run can still explore the site at their own pace, immersed in the greenery of Amiata and among the restored industrial landmarks.

A stage of the Strade d'Oro Circuit

Corriminiera is part of the 2026 Strade d'Oro Circuit, the trail and road running calendar of the FIDAL Tuscany Regional Committee, which brings together thirteen races across the region from April to December. Athletes with a 2026 FIDAL membership, sports promotion bodies, and Runcard holders can participate, with club and individual rankings and a final gala evening.

A territory to be experienced

Abbadia San Salvatore is nestled between the Val d'Orcia, the Maremma, and the Tyrrhenian horizon: an ideal base for combining sports, nature, and culture. Between the Benedictine abbey that gives the town its name, the trails of Mount Amiata, and the Mining Museum Park, Corriminiera is the perfect opportunity to discover an authentic corner of Tuscany far from the main tourist flows.
