Roadbook S1 Borin — the course section by section

The S1 Borin starts at the PortoPiccolo Bora Village and returns there after 5.5 km: it is the shortest route of La Corsa della Bora, a non-competitive event with no final ranking. This page describes the route section by section, in the order you meet it.

PortoPiccolo Beach

The start is on the Bora Village beach, with the sea behind you. If you are coming with a wheelchair or stroller, please note: there is a stretch of pebbles on the beach and about 40 steps.

Sistiana/Sesljan

The route climbs to Sistiana, the furthest point of the course. This year the course is even more accessible.

The return and the finish at PortoPiccolo

You head back to PortoPiccolo and the same finish as the day's other distances: same beach, same party.
