About 4 Passi per el Tajo

In Taglio di Po, in the heart of the Po Delta, the "4 Passi per el Tajo" is the running race that has attracted hundreds of participants, both competitive runners and walkers, since 1978. A 9 km competitive race alongside a non-competitive walk and mini-races for children, the second stage of the Il Gabbiano circuit, organized by the Podisti Tagliolesi in the evocative setting of Polesine.

A Po Delta running tradition

The 4 Passi per el Tajo is the emblematic running race of Taglio di Po, a municipality in the province of Rovigo nestled in the Po Delta. Started in 1978, it is one of the longest-running sporting events in Polesine and is organized by the Podisti Tagliolesi (AVIS Taglio di Po).

The races

The event offers various routes suitable for everyone: a 9 km competitive race, a 6.5 km non-competitive walk, and mini-races (600 m and 1500 m) for the younger participants. The start is from the center of Taglio di Po. The event is the 2nd stage of the "Il Gabbiano" circuit, which includes the main races in the Delta area.

Sport and territory

Beyond the competitive aspect, the 4 Passi per el Tajo is an opportunity to discover the unique landscape of the Po Delta by running or walking, through dikes, canals, and the Polesine countryside. The participation, which annually approaches 500 people between the race and the walk, makes it a sporting and community celebration that unites athletes, families, and enthusiasts.
