About Meeting Pergine
Meeting Pergine: High-level athletics in Valsugana
Meeting Pergine is an international track and field meeting that transforms the Stadio Cassa Rurale at the Vigalzano Municipal Sports Center in Pergine Valsugana (Autonomous Province of Trento, Trentino-Alto Adige) into a stage for Italian champions and international athletes every June. Organized by Polisportiva Oltrefersina in collaboration with Asd Non Solo Running, the event features a long evening of competitions, including sprints, middle-distance, hurdles, jumps, and throws, before a large crowd and with free admission.
Rapid growth
Launched in 2023, the event has seen constant growth with each edition, now hosting over five hundred registered athletes and a top-tier technical lineup. The meeting has established itself as one of the most anticipated stops on the Trentino summer athletics calendar, successfully combining the appeal of big names with space reserved for young athletes during the PreMeeting that opens the program in the afternoon.
Champions and performances
The track and field at Pergine have witnessed truly remarkable performances. Shot putter Leonardo Fabbri, a European champion and world medalist, is one of the meeting's headline guests, as is Trentino middle-distance runner Yeman Crippa, who has used the Pergine track to chase and achieve qualifying standards for major international events in the 10,000 meters. Alongside them, sprinters, hurdlers, and jumpers from the national and international circuits compete.
A local event
Meeting Pergine is more than just a competition: it is a sporting celebration for the entire Valsugana valley. During the evening, the atmosphere is enlivened by music and entertainment, set within a sporting context immersed in the Trentino landscape, just a stone's throw from Lake Caldonazzo. The event, which is free and open to everyone, combines a passion for high-level athletics with the grassroots, family-friendly spirit of local sports.
