Special Prizes at the Challenge Sanremo
The Daniele Rambaldi Trophy is awarded to the first female/male Junior/Under 23 in memory of “Danielone“. The choice was dictated by Rambaldi’s natural predisposition to work with young people. His was the project dedicated to starting a youth center in which boys and girls could mature by discovering the triple discipline and positive values of sport. A way to remember over time the person who for years was the driving force of Triathlon in our province and a point of reference on the national scene but, above all, a sincere, loyal and paternal person.

The Marco Gavino Memorial, dedicated to the memory of the young policeman who died during a humanitarian mission in Kosovo, will be awarded to the athlete who sets the fastest time in the running section. Marco was, for everyone, a great friend and a person with great human qualities. The decision to donate the trophy to the best runner stems from Marco’s past as an athlete, himself a good runner, in a discipline to which he devoted himself with passion and sacrifice.

The Ulrike Wachtler Memorial. She was born in Bolzano but Milanese by adoption, has been involved in the organization of sporting events for more than 20 years, with particular reference to running races. Among the various events in which she has participated with primary roles, we should mention the Monza Half Marathon, held inside the Monza park and the Autodromo; the Corsa della Speranza, a solidarity race that took place in the streets of Milan; the Gazzetta Run circuit, including the stage held in Sanremo, a city to which she was also linked for having provided her support to the first edition of the Sanremo Marathon. She was part of the organizational group of the European Cross Country Championships that took place in San Giorgio su Legnano in 2006. She has also collaborated with Triathlon organizations, including that of Sanremo. Having passed away in March 2023 due to a serious illness, this award is dedicated to the best female athlete of the running section to remember everything she has been able to do over the years, always committing herself with great passion and professionalism.
