Drago Vaia Trail: The mountain race to rebuild the dragon
The Drago Vaia Trail is a non-competitive running event held in Lavarone, in the province of Trento. The race is organized by Sportiva7Comuni, in collaboration with various local associations, and consists of three courses of varying lengths: 3, 10, and 20 kilometers.
The story
The race was born from the desire to remember and celebrate the Dragon of Magré, a 15-meter wooden sculpture that was destroyed by Storm Vaia in 2018. The work, created by artist Marco Martalar, was a symbol of rebirth and hope for the local community, and its disappearance was a grave blow for everyone.
The Drago Vaia Trail is therefore an opportunity to remember the Dragon of Magré and contribute to its reconstruction. Proceeds from the event will be donated to a fund created specifically for this purpose.
