A VISION

July 21, 2021: The habits of people during the pandemic begin to change, but fortunately not the friendship that binds Michele Cappa and Christian Laccetta, who continue to train and challenge each other in every discipline. The idea is born with a challenge between two friends, which will be a true assault on the future! Christian's proposal, disruptive and crazy, shocks but stimulates and excites Michele: "Let's try 24 hours of sports?! And maybe all different from each other?!" Michele not only accepts but together they refine and perfect the model, making it more challenging to surpass their own goals together and to test themselves as a strong and united TEAM with a single objective, to complete the crazy challenge.

August 20, 2021 (06:00 am): The preparations were complete. It was a warm summer morning, the sun rising over Gaeta celebrating the start of this real challenge between the two towards the extreme-beyond! The vision and idea of Steelman H24 takes flight and spreads its sails. Cast off, an idea becomes reality.

August 21, 2021 (05:43 am): Michele and Christian are exhausted as they complete the challenges they set out for themselves. But these challenges they have undertaken are not just physical tests, they are a true journey through time, because that's what it was all about. Traveling through time, opening a window into the future, pioneering a competition, experiencing physical effort, and so many indescribable, wholesome emotions of pure friendship and camaraderie during sport, only to return back in time, to the present, to offer this unique extreme sports experience to other athletes.

June 17, 2022 (06:00 am): The first official edition of the Steelman H24 Race begins, with forty pre-registered athletes competing from across the national territory.

June 18, 2022 (06:00 am): The competition concludes with a resounding success, a real-life replication of what Michele and Christian individually experienced and envisioned in their minds.

On the same day, social media seemed to go wild, with 655,000 impressions and over 90,000 accounts reached on Instagram alone. It's just the beginning.

Today, the STEELMAN team works daily to create an international circuit, exploring new lands near and far, to allow as many athletes as possible to experience the range of emotions this race can generate. In 2024, thanks to the support and trust of numerous partners who believed in such an ambitious and audacious project, we were able to create and build an event that is truly incredible, enabling every participant to say: I AM A STEELMAN.
