San Pietro Eremita Urban Trail

A run through the village of the hermit saint

The San Pietro Eremita Urban Trail is a non-competitive running event that brings the streets of Trevi nel Lazio to life every mid-August. Located in the province of Frosinone, this characteristic mountain village offers a 5.5-kilometre course that traverses the historic centre and its surroundings, passing through stone alleys, offering glimpses of the Caetani Castle, and providing panoramic views of the upper Aniene Valley. The race is named after Saint Peter the Hermit, the patron saint who lived around the year 1000 and died in Trevi nel Lazio, whose legacy has been at the heart of the town's religious and civic life for nearly a millennium.

The route: 5.5 kilometres for everyone

The event follows the urban trail format: a city route featuring ups and downs, staircases, and unique passages, designed to be tackled either by running or walking. The manageable distance and non-competitive nature make it accessible to families, walkers, and runners of all levels, allowing them to discover the village from an unusual perspective. The start is set in the heart of the town, in Piazza IV Novembre, where the first edition took place in 2025.

Giorgio Calcaterra, a special guest

Adding prestige to the event is the presence of Giorgio Calcaterra, the popular Roman ultramarathon runner, three-time 100 km world champion, and long-time winner of the Cento km del Passatore. His participation confirms the event's mission: to bring the general public closer to running in a festive and convivial atmosphere.

In the heart of the Monti Simbruini Park

Trevi nel Lazio stands at an altitude of over 800 metres within the Monti Simbruini Regional Natural Park, the largest protected area in the Lazio region, which promotes the event in its calendar of initiatives. The territory is crossed by the Cammino di San Pietro Eremita, a circular hiking trail that retraces the saint's footsteps between Lazio and Abruzzo; the urban trail represents its sporting and urban counterpart. Participants can take the opportunity to explore the beech forests, the Trevi Waterfall, and the trails of the upper Aniene Valley.

Sport and tradition in Trevi nel Lazio

The race is part of the rich summer calendar of the Municipality of Trevi nel Lazio, which culminates at the end of August with the patronal festivities in honour of San Pietro Eremita, featuring a procession with the saint's silver bust and the traditional Palio delle Contrade. The Urban Trail, organised with the technical support of the Club Marathon Imperia and local associations, anticipates this festive atmosphere in mid-August, when the village fills with holidaymakers and families.
