14^th edition - 9^th July 2000

"Living is art"

2000 saw some great new features. Firstly, from now on, each edition would have a motto, a key word, theme or special dedication. It began with ‘Living is an Art’ and it was a great journey. The start was moved to La Villa and the Fedaia Pass was no longer part of the route. The committee established a fixed number of 6000 participants. Over 30 nationalities took part. However, the edition was marked by a terrible accident: a competitor died while coming down the Giau Pass.
