LUNCH AND SHOWERS

Sunday, July 26th, 2026

Athletes are invited to go to the Palasole, the Premana sports hall (Via Papa Luciani, next to the Middle School).

Showers and lunch will be available.

From 11:30 AM, the Nives Choir of Premana will prepare lunch, which is included in the registration fee for athletes participating in the 32 km and 18 km races. Access to lunch will be granted exclusively through a personal, single-use QR code assigned to each registered athlete. In the days leading up to the race, each participant will receive an official email from the Organizing Committee containing their individual QR code. This code will be required to collect the meal. Upon access, the assigned volunteers will scan the QR code, validating it and allowing the athlete to receive the meal. In case of any issues or if the email is not received, participants may contact the organization directly at the official address (giirdimontmountainrace@gmail.com) with the subject line LUNCH VOUCHER. Accompanying persons will be able to purchase lunch on site.
