The finale at the Palazzina di Caccia di Stupinigi offers one of the most stunning finishes in Italy.

Kenyan Douglas Kipserem holds the record with a time of 28 minutes and 30 seconds, and competitors will strive to beat him! The Speed Contest corporate challenge is back, open to companies willing to compete. Companies with at least five employees can enter the rankings, with the fastest and most numerous teams earning a dinner voucher for their top runners.
