Geocache Description:

This is the third in a series of five Geocaches that will map out the route of the famous road race - The Targa Florio



The Targa Florio was an open road endurance race held in the mountains of Sicily near Palermo. Founded in 1906, it was the oldest sports car racing event, part of the World Sportscar Championship between 1955 and 1973. The Circuito Piccolo delle Madonie was used from 1932-1936 and 1951-1977. It was 72 kilometres (45 mi) long, and was lapped 11 times.

To follow the Circuito Piccolo delle Madonie, then you will need to find caches "Targa Florio 01, 02, 03, 04, & 05". If these first caches prove popular, then I wil add more to mark out the other routes used.

Full List:

Targa Florio 01
Targa Florio 02
Targa Florio 03
Targa Florio 04
Targa Florio 05

Targa Florio 03 is located on the SP24, on the road to Collesano. It's a small box located in a layby with some great views. The location of this cache is mainly to keep you on the correct route for the Circuito Piccolo delle Madonie. The cache should be easy to find, and the hint and spoiler photo should lead you straight there.



Please replace as found.

If heading to Targa Florio 04 follow SP24 to Collesano.
