Michele Meridio, born in 1997, is an Italian athlete specialising in trail running and mountain races.
He lives in Dueville, in the province of Vicenza, at the foot of the Piccole Dolomiti, an ideal area for endurance training and a strategic base for quickly reaching the whole Dolomites range, where he does most of his training and athletic preparation.
Trail running is now at the centre of his professional and personal life. Over the years Michele has built his experience through passion, consistency and a constant pursuit of performance, taking part in some of the most prestigious national and international trail and ultra trail races and following the main world circuits such as the UTMB World Series.
The most important results of his career include victory at the Delicious Trail Dolomiti 43K, fourth place at the Cortina Trail LUT50, second place at Snowdonia by UTMB and prestigious international placings such as first place at the SKY50 Seoul 100K and thirteenth place at the Grand Trail des Templiers, one of the most important historic races in world trail running.
Thanks to his results on the international circuit, Michele now has an elite-level UTMB Index and ITRA Performance Index, confirming himself as one of the most competitive Italian athletes in endurance trail running.
Alongside racing, he is completing his degree in Sports Science and works as an instructor and personal trainer in several local gyms. This experience allows him to put his university studies into practice and pass on to others every day what he experiences first-hand as a professional athlete.
Together with a friend he has also founded an amateur sports association dedicated to promoting sport, wellbeing and physical activity through running and functional training courses, with the aim of helping people move towards a healthy, active and mindful lifestyle.
In his sporting career, nutrition and supplementation play a key role in tackling ultra trail races, high-volume training and muscle recovery. The Volchem products he uses most are the 30 g and 50 g energy gels, essential during endurance training and races, as well as supplements for daily support such as iron, calcium and collagen, key to sustaining energy, recovery and continuity in his athletic preparation.
Determination, a passion for the mountains and attention to performance make Michele Meridio one of the most exciting Italian athletes in international trail running and ultra trail.
