Pure micro-adventure: Marco and Uma's relaxed 2,000 km run!
-
Well, just do it: the senior team dares to do it!
In 50 days, I will run from Switzerland to Sicily with my eight-year-old Malinois dog, Uma.
A journey full of unknown challenges, moments of enjoyment and proof of the power of a balanced, protein-rich diet.
The Mission
My passion project UMA Performance is being put to the test.
With the innovative whey protein products for dogs ( UMA Athletic, UMA Aeging, UMA Anxious) I want to show: Age is just a number!
Even seniors (humans and animals) can achieve extreme sporting performances - with the right food, adequate training and careful preparation.
The route: A run in 3 acts
Swiss opening:
It starts on April 22, 2025. 5 days through picturesque, wooded landscapes to Lausanne.
Pilgrimage Power:
25 days on the legendary Via Francigena pilgrimage route to Rome.
Southern Italy Sprint:
Along the coast of Campania and Calabria to the Strait of Sicily; then the final spurt.
The goal: La Dolce Granita
After a good 2,000 kilometers of sweat and exertion, the sweet finale beckons: an ice-cold granita al caffè with a warm brioche at my favorite bar, Cavallaro, in Giardini-Naxos. Planned arrival: June 14, 2025.
Equipment and supplies
Mobile base camp:
A 4x4 Mercedes Sprinter as a rolling oasis. Sabine will drive the van leisurely through the narrow streets of Italy ;).
Culinary highlights
Daily moments of enjoyment in authentic trattorias.
Uma's power food:
Dry food plus UMA Athletic or UMA Aeging for top performance.
