This year too the Municipality of Rogno will host, from Friday 18th to Sunday 20th July 2025, 3 days of longboard, street luge and in-line on the curves of the most fun spot of the Italian circuit.

Over 120 riders from all over the world meet to face speed tests, battery races and freeride in the spectacular panorama of Valcamonica. Also this year the presence of foreign athletes is very high, also thanks to the inclusion of the event in the Euro Tour circuit, an unofficial circuit that however sees athletes of different nationalities compete in different stages between Portugal, Norway, Spain, France and as the last final stage right in Rogno.

The Downhill Arena is also for the fourth year the only stage of the Italian Downhill Skateboard Championship, thanks to the support of the Italian Federation of Roller Sports and the support of the municipal administration of Rogno.

The event will start on Friday 18 July with free practice, where riders will be able to try out the 1.6 km route of Via Del Corno that starts from the Castelfranco hamlet. On Saturday it will be the turn of the time trials, where they will battle to win the best position for the starting grid and on Sunday the athletes will start in groups of 4 for the race with the aim of reaching the final with overtaking and counter-overtaking. Up for grabs is the title of Italian Longboard Downhill champion and for foreigners the title of Gladiator of the Arena. Skateboarding and more, the race and freeride will also see the disciplines of street luge and Inline (Skates) battle it out in the OPEN, WOMEN, MASTER+35, JUNIOR categories.
After the race the athletes will move to the Rogno lake to relax in the water and enjoy live concerts and DJ sets organized at Rogno Beach. The activities at the lake and the race are open to the public.

The Downhill Arena Race is an event organized by the sports association Sbanda Brianza, supported by FISR (Italian Roller Sports Federation) and included in the list of sports events of national interest of CONI.

The municipality of Rogno, which gave patronage and support for the event, with a cutting-edge vision took the opportunity to enhance and publicize the territory through a new sporting practice in an event that will gather numerous subscriptions also from foreign riders who read Italy with a new sporting and cultural key.
