Camilla Rizzardi (Castelnovo ne' Monti, 12 May 2000) is an Italian trail runner and Team Joma athlete, a rising star on the international mountain running and trail racing scene.
Sporty since childhood, Camilla practised several disciplines before turning to running. About three years ago, almost for fun, she decided to enter a running race near home, an experience that completely changed her sporting path.
That race revealed a genuine passion for running. She began training consistently, at first on her own and later with the support of specialist coaches as the results started to come.
Her first competitive experiences were on the road, but discovering trail running was the real turning point. The mountains, nature, woods and trails became her ideal environment, where she can best express her athletic qualities and her personality.
In 2025 she made her debut on the world trail running circuit at an international race in Croatia: 42 kilometres with 1000 metres of elevation gain. Camilla took on the event without any particular expectations but with great enthusiasm and a desire to measure herself against the best athletes in the world.
The result exceeded all expectations: she finished second, taking an extraordinary podium in her very first international circuit race. The performance immediately caught the attention of insiders and opened the door to important sporting partnerships.
After this breakthrough she was contacted by Team Salomon and began working with her current coach, team manager of the French brand, starting an even more structured path of technical and competitive growth.
The 2025 season proved rich in satisfaction. Her most prestigious results include victory at the Dolomyths Run in Canazei, a 42-kilometre race with 2300 metres of elevation gain, as well as many notable placings in international trail circuit races.
2026 brought important professional news. Camilla joined Team Joma, continued her partnership with the sports eyewear brand Out Of and began her partnership with Volchem, a leading Italian company in sports nutrition and supplements for endurance athletes.
For a trail runner competing in high-intensity races and long hours of training, sports supplementation is essential to sustain energy, endurance, muscle recovery and adaptation to heavy training loads.
The 2026 season focuses mainly on long, fast races of 40 to 50 kilometres with 1000 to 2000 metres of elevation gain, the distances that best suit her athletic strengths.
The year opened with another important international result, a third place at Croatia by UTMB. Her calendar also includes many rounds of the world circuit, including events in Latvia, France and other top-level international competitions.
Determination, a passion for the mountains and a constant drive to improve make Camilla Rizzardi one of the most promising young Italian trail runners on the international scene, with the aim of continuing to grow and establish herself among the leading names in world trail running.
