Scott Running 2019

Scott Running 2019

Scott Italia in 2019 will take the field with a team engaged in several disciplines, starting from mountain running passing through ultra distances and up to triathlon. Fresh news is the partnership with the Italian Federation of Obstacle Race which broadens the range of action.

The captain of the team is always the Bergamo-born Oliviero Bosatelli who left his heart and soul in the Valle d’Aosta mountains. Next September, he will start chasing a dream called Tor des Geants. In his palmares a victory and a second place in this long adventure of 330 km and 30,000 meters in height. In the trail running sector there will be the promising Michael Dola, an athlete specialized in the ultra category that in 2019 will aim to establish himself among the big names in the scene. For the skyrace and vertical world there will be the solo up specialist Manuel Da Col who has in his sights the Fully vertical, the emerging young Mattia Tanara who just last year highlighted some of the top-level Sky events and the very talented Guido Barbuscio, who will try to excel in central and southern Italy races. In the girls field of mountain running there will be Samantha Galassi, while for the ultra category Melissa Paganelli has the Tor des Geants in her sights. Last but not least the Obstacle Race specialist Eugenio Bianchi, with international events in his sights including the European Alleghe Championship and the Tahoe World Championship in California.

Local ambassadors are the lifeblood of dealer-related activities. In 2019 the collaboration with the long distance specialist Antonio Armuzzi and with Giuliano Pugolotti, an adventurer runner who just recently wrote the book “Running in the middle of nowhere” will continue.

Even the triathlon project, the flagship of the brand’s multidisciplinary nature, won’t stop. In addition to showcasing the new star of the Italian triathlon Angelica Olmo, who competes in the world riding a Scott bike, in 2019 the team is enriched with promising youngsters. New entry is the European U23 cross triathlon champion and Italian Olympic and middleweight champion 2018 Marcello Ugazio, flanked by Filippo Rinaldi from Parma, the 2018 Italian cross triathlon champion. Elisabetta Curridori, 2018 Italian duathlon champion, and Marta Menditto, the young under 23 Italian duathlon champion from Piedmont. Then there will be Federica Parodi again in the European under 23 category, who is fresh from graduation and ready to get involved with the big names in the scene.

Races and events best represent the dynamism of the brand. Let’s go with order and start with the tried and tested Fly-up circuit assisted by Mario Poletti, a Sky Running legend and Scott Product Running Manager. In Piedmont, Scott will also support the Cusio Challenge, a mountain, trail and vertical circuit in Cusio (VB). Third and last gem of 2019 is the sponsorship of the Italian Federation Obstacle Course Race that will allow us to get in touch with a new target. Then there will be the legendary Mugello Ultra Trail, which will take place on April 28th and the prestigious Valmalenco Ultra Trail scheduled for July 19th and 20th. As part of the skyrace, in addition to attending the Italian events of the Skyrunning World Series, in 2019 there will be the super technique Maga Skymarathon, chosen as the sole test of the European championship and the Frasassi Skyrace in the Marche region will come back as well.
