Berghaus
Berghaus Paclite 2.0 GTX
Waterproof jacket with a Gore-Tex Paclite membrane (around 330 g). Fully waterproof with taped seams, fixed adjustable hood, storm flap behind the zip and cuff adjustment. Packs down small in a vest. Heavier than a pure running hardshell, but it meets the waterproof-breathable membrane requirement in race rules and is the affordable route into Gore-Tex.
Brooks
Brooks Cascadia 20 GTX
The Cascadia 20 with a GORE-TEX membrane: stability and protection for rocky mountain terrain, keeping the foot dry on cold, rainy days.
Gore Wear
Gore Wear C5 GORE-TEX Glove
Glove with a fully waterproof, windproof GORE-TEX membrane and light insulation. The pick for running in snow, sleet or heavy rain while keeping your hand dry.
Gore Wear
Gore Wear M GORE-TEX Thermo Glove
Warmer variant of the Gore Wear C5 GORE-TEX: the same fully waterproof, windproof membrane, with extra thermal lining for intense cold on top of snow or rain. The pick when the problem isn't just water, but water AND hard cold at once.

Salomon
Salomon Bonatti WP
Ultralight waterproof windproof jacket (135 g). Taped seams, adjustable hood and back ventilation. Packs into its own pocket.
Salomon
Salomon Speedcross 6 GTX
The Speedcross 6 with a GORE-TEX membrane: the same aggressive 5 mm lugs for mud and soft ground, now waterproof for winter, rain and snow.
Sealskinz
Sealskinz Waterproof Lightweight Glove
Lightweight waterproof glove from a brand that specializes in outdoor sport waterproofing. A solid middle ground between a thin windproof glove and a thick membrane glove: genuinely waterproof without the bulk or price of the Gore C5.
Shokz

Forecast for 10 April
Weather forecast from Open-Meteo (may change until race day)
The stone city and its three mountains
Gubbio Trail Città di Pietra comes from a simple idea: run the trails around one of Italy’s best-preserved medieval cities. In 2027 it takes place on 10 April with a 53 km and 2,500 m of climbing as the long race.
The programme is completed by 25 km with 1,500 m and 10 km with 680 m, designed so that first-timers and climbers share the same day. All start in the old town and climb Monte Ingino, where the Sant’Ubaldo sanctuary sits.
A course of forest, limestone and medieval stone
The route climbs through beech woods and limestone ridges, passes hermitages and medieval walls and descends on cobbles that turn treacherous when wet. The climbing is not extreme but it accumulates in short ramps.
Weather and logistics
April in Umbria is mild: 10-20 °C, with frequent rain and mud in the wooded sections. The race requires no technical kit, although a shell is mandatory.
Gubbio has no train station: arrive by car from Perugia (45 minutes) or by bus. Stay in the old town to walk to the start. More Umbria races at /en/races/italia/umbria/ and kit at /en/planner/.
