Gionata Cogliati (Merate, 1 September 1990) is an Italian athlete specialising in trail running and long-distance ultra trail races.
A member of the Kailas Fuga Team, Gionata stands out for his endurance, his ability to manage effort and his extensive experience in mountain endurance races.
Sporty from a young age, he played football before turning to running. His passion for running and ultra distances, however, comes above all from his love of the mountains, nature and the outdoors, which over the years have made running a way of life as well as a competitive challenge.
Specialising in long-distance trail and ultra trail races, Gionata has built his sporting career by taking on technical and demanding competitions, with steep elevation gains, long race times and advanced management of nutrition, supplementation and recovery.
The 2024 season was a turning point in his career, with victory at the Tot Dret 130K and success at the Dolomiti Extreme Trail 74K, one of the most spectacular and technical races on the Italian trail scene.
In 2025 he confirmed his very high level by winning the Dolomiti Extreme Trail 74K again and finishing second at UTMB Istria 110K, one of the most prestigious international events on the ultra trail circuit.
That same year he was called up to the Italian national team for the World Mountain and Trail Running Championships in Canfranc, where he won the team bronze medal, joining the leading figures of Italian endurance running.
For the 2026 season his main goal is to achieve great results in the UTMB World Series, one of the most competitive and prestigious circuits in international trail running. After his excellent second place in Istria, his racing programme includes the Monte Rosa WalserWaeg by UTMB in July, followed by another important international race in September and the final events of the season.
To handle training, ultra trail races and high-intensity recovery, Gionata pays particular attention to sports nutrition, energy supplementation and muscle recovery, all essential in long endurance disciplines.
That is why he has chosen Volchem, a leading Italian company in sports nutrition and supplements for endurance athletes and trail runners.
