In 2003 205 people came from Brazil, Mexico, Austria, Spain, France, Germany, Denmark, England, Switzerland and of course Italy, with excellent performances. In this same year, the first three at the arrival have been the Olympic champions A. Willms and S. Volkert from Germany and R. Rubio from Spain, the latter having already participated to 2001 and 2002 editions.

But the record of winnings in his category belongs to a young man of 78 years old coming from France, A. Giovannoni, a participant of the Helsinki Olympic games..
