The Val del Riso Trail, the penultimate event of the Fly-Up series for the 2026 season, is organized by Mario Poletti and the Fly Up Sport team in collaboration with the Pro Loco of Gorno and local associations. The event is sponsored by the Province of Bergamo and the municipalities of Gorno, Oneta, and PromoSerio. The 22-kilometer course, with 1,000 meters of elevation gain, starts and finishes on Via S. Antonio in the hamlet of Villassio. The route passes through the Polveriera delle Miniere and the Fattoria Ariete, an educational center where visitors can see various animals, including goats, sheep, donkeys, peacocks, geese, rabbits, and piglets. A 700-meter section runs through the mines, with a 50-meter elevation gain. For safety reasons, the rules require the use of a protective helmet, which will be left at the mine exit.
