The Chianti Classico Marathon continues to grow and strengthen its sporting profile by building partnerships with leading brands in the trail running world.
For the 2026 edition, scheduled for Sunday, May 10, we are proud to announce the collaboration with Kailas Fuga, an international brand specialized in trail running shoes and technical apparel for running in natural environments.
A partnership dedicated to authentic trail running
Kailas Fuga shares with the Chianti Classico Marathon a common vision of outdoor sport: performance, reliability, respect for the environment, and a strong focus on the athlete’s experience.
Kailas Fuga trail running shoes are designed to tackle technical terrain, significant elevation gain, and long distances—features that perfectly reflect the spirit and routes of the Chianti Classico Marathon.
From white gravel roads to forest trails and vineyard paths, from runnable rolling hills to more demanding sections, the CCM courses represent an ideal testing ground for those who love trail running in its most authentic form.
Technical value at the service of athletes
The collaboration with Kailas Fuga was born with the aim of offering real added value to athletes, further enhancing the overall quality of the event.
A technical partner that truly speaks the language of trail running and believes, like the Chianti Classico Marathon, in a sport made of experience, endurance, emotion, and a deep connection with the land.
In the coming months, dedicated initiatives for registered runners, promotional activities, and special events linked to this new partnership will be revealed.
Chianti Classico Marathon 2026: sport, territory, and great partnerships

The appointment is set for Sunday, May 10, 2026, with start and finish in Mercatale Val di Pesa (San Casciano Val di Pesa – Florence, Italy), to experience together a new edition filled with sport, quality, and great emotions.
