About 5 km at Breakneck Speed
Running Under the Stars
The 5 km a Rotta di Collo is a night running race held in Dalmine, a municipality in the province of Bergamo. Organized by CUS Bergamo Atletica with the patronage of the Municipality of Dalmine, it offers a short and accessible distance — five kilometers — to be tackled in the evocative atmosphere of the evening.
Competitive and Non-Competitive
The event features two formats: a FIDAL (Italian Athletics Federation) certified competitive race and a timed non-competitive event, open to those who want to test themselves without the pressure of results. The course is a fast loop, designed to offer everyone — athletes and amateurs alike — a pleasant and fun running experience.
Sport and Conviviality
The start is set in the CUS Bergamo area, on Via Giuseppe Verdi in Dalmine. At the end of the race, as is traditional for Bergamo running races, a refreshment with a sandwich and beer is provided, transforming the effort of the race into a convivial moment. The 5 km a Rotta di Collo is part of a Dalmine summer particularly rich in sporting events, a sign of the area's strong commitment to sport and outdoor life.
