PROJECT
AN IDEA COMES FROM A NEED, A LACK, A DREAM

IUWT

No registration
No time limit
No support
No organization
A letter of intent is enough to have the track
If you want a FREE DONATION will suffice, to keep the track active and usable.

Italy Unite Wild Trail is all of this. An idea that turns into reality, keeping the intention intact. A lot of passion, a single goal, to make a fixed path that crosses Italy on dirt roads , bringing to mind the TOUR DIVIDE and the pioneering spirit that has distinguished it since the first edition. 2000 km and 35.000 mt elevation gain of tracks

Those who embark on this adventure will be accompanied by their emotions, efforts, needs, no one upon arrival, no one upon departure. The feelings and situations that arise will be the only reward they will receive for fulfilling the personal goal set in mind, in reaching their limits. IUWT is not an event, it is not organized, it is not a competition, and it is not a cycling tour. IUWT is a path conceived and tested by some friends, who will find themselves walking it again in Santa Maria di Leuca (LE), hoping that it will take place annually in the last week of June, as already happens in the USA with the Tour Divide. The journey is first of all with oneself !!!!!!
