The Capoliveri Legend Cup

Almost 23 years are gone since Elba Island and Capoliveri hosted the historic lap of the Cross Country World Cup. In that late 1994, in Capoliveri, an important page in the history of MTB was written, which perhaps few remember, but remained indelible in the memory of those who had the luck of assist. The challenge between aces like John Tomac and Ned Overend is part of MTB history. A story that has become a legend with a stunning Bike Park, made by permanent tracks that allow you to relive the emotions that Mount Calamita could give in that far 1994. So the urge for agonism led to the birth of the Capoliveri Legend Cup, which grew over the years and now became an international must, recognized by many as one of the most beautiful mountain bike marathons in the world… a race that can give you unique emotions with a breathtaking track always immersed between the sky and the sea. Those who have run this race always keep it in their heart, those who didn’t yet are willing to participate, because to run the Capoliveri Legend Cup means to start to be part of the “legend” !!!
