In 2024, the concept of 'km 0' and home-made delicacies make their grand return to the food courts! ๐ก๐ฝ๏ธ๐ฟ
During the 2021 and 2022 editions of the Corsa della Bora โโ๏ธ๐ฌ๏ธ, in the throes of the COVID pandemic ๐ท, we've received a lot of positive feedback regarding the standardisation and simplification of our refreshment points. We offered few products, pre-prepared and sealed in paper bags ๐๐ฅค. This approach, besides being safer in a pandemic context, has also allowed for a significant reduction in waste, a primary goal of ours โป๏ธ.
However, in 2023, many runners expressed a wish to return to a greater variety of food ๐ฅ and home-made ๐ก products, as in the first editions. We missed the rich buffets of yesteryear, full of local specialities ๐ฒ๐ฐ. But we also know that before the pandemic, this great variety often led to a considerable waste of food, something we wish to avoid ๐ซ.
Thus, at the beginning of June, during the Alpe Adria Trail ๐๏ธ, we experimented with a new organisation of refreshments. We reintegrated home-made cakes ๐ฅฎ, seasonal fruit ๐ and varied the offer of food from one refreshment point to the next ๐, while keeping an eye on limiting waste.
And the feedback has been positive ๐. So, we are preparing for the next La Corsa della Bora with the same wealth of delicacies as the first editions, but with a commitment to minimise waste and respect the land ๐.
The delicacies of yesteryear will return: hand-sliced ham ๐, smoked salmon ๐ฃ, homemade bread ๐, Val Rosandra olive oil ๐ซ and craft beer ๐บ. These delicacies will be complemented by cakes and lasagne. Cheese ๐ง, a fixed element in recent editions, will be scaled down, but we will offer such a variety of food that each refreshment point will be unique from the others. And to add a touch of anticipation to your culinary journey, we will be publishing a mini-guide ๐ in which you can find out in advance what awaits you refreshment by refreshment.
This renewed approach to refreshments is a great challenge for us ๐ฏ but it is a journey into flavours that we are happy to undertake. Every year, we study and consider all the feedback we receive, because it is precisely in the weak points that we find the opportunity to grow and improve ๐ฑ. Your experience at the Corsa della Bora is what matters most to us, which is why we are constantly striving to optimise our service, with the aim of best combining the pleasure of gastronomic discovery ๐ and respect for the environment and the land ๐ฟ.
