5mila della Val Pellice

A race with solidarity at its heart

The 5mila della Val Pellice is a non-competitive running event that brings the town of Torre Pellice to life every June. Located in the Metropolitan City of Turin, in the heart of the Val Pellice valley in Piedmont, this event is more than just a race—it is open to everyone. Amateur runners, walkers, fitwalking enthusiasts, and even leashed four-legged friends can join in, covering a five-kilometre loop immersed in the landscape of the Waldensian valleys.

Organization and charitable purpose

The initiative is organized by the Lions Club Luserna San Giovanni - Torre Pellice with the patronage of the Municipality of Torre Pellice. The event's hallmark is its commitment to charity: the entire proceeds from registration fees are donated to a specific cause chosen by the club each year. Running or walking the 5mila means making a tangible contribution to the Pinerolo community.

The route

The course is a five-kilometre loop with a gentle elevation gain, designed to be accessible to everyone, from trained runners to families simply looking for a pleasant stroll. The start and finish lines are located in the town's sports area, and the route winds through the most picturesque corners of Torre Pellice and the Val Pellice valley.

How to participate

• Non-competitive run for those who love to challenge themselves without the pressure of a leaderboard
• Fitwalking and dog walking for walkers and dog owners
• Open walk for everyone, including families
• Pasta party for all registered participants at the end
