The race, which will take place on 17 September, communicates that, due to traffic conditions within the Municipality of Vignale Monferrato, there will be a change in route: from the SP 50 you will enter the Strada Comunale Ca Molino and the Strada Comunale Valle Grana both entirely unpaved, until it rejoins the SP 72 as in the previous route. Thus modified, the circuit drops from 43 km to 41.7 km (with 520 meters of altitude difference), to which 1 km is added at the start and 1 km to reach the finish.

At each passage, at Località Franchini and Fubine (approximately every 20 km of the circuit), two mechanical assistance and refueling points will be guaranteed (feed and technical zone). The organization will provide water to the runners, while any bottles of supplements can be delivered by personal assistants placed at these two specific points.

The Master M/F amateur categories, using the endu.net link https://api.endu.net/r/i/85142, will then be able to complete the registration by paying the required fee of 30 Euros. It is possible to participate with any type of bicycle, although gravel or cyclocross models are recommended.
The awards will concern all the competing categories, 2 competitive (M/F) and 9 amateur (M/F): each will have its own ranking, the winner of which will wear the FCI Italian Gravel Champion shirt, for a total of 20 shirts up for grabs.
