A Run for Gianca
Mirano's solidarity run in support of those living with spinal cord injuries
About A Run for Gianca
Running and Walking for a Good Cause
A Run for Gianca is the non-competitive running event in Mirano, in the province of Venice, that combines sport and solidarity. The run, part of the Volunteer Festival, is open to runners, walkers, families, and in recent editions, even pets.
Routes for Everyone
The routes start and finish in Piazza Martiri della Libertà and cross the city center on roads closed to traffic, entirely flat and free of architectural barriers, with an inclusive route accessible to wheelchairs, strollers, and people with reduced mobility.
The Cause: La Colonna APS
The proceeds from registrations are donated to the La Colonna APS association, founded in 2001 from an idea by Giancarlo Volpato following a severe spinal cord injury: the association works to support scientific research, provide information, and promote social inclusion.
A Run for Gianca — edition 2026
The 2026 edition, the fourth, of A Run for Gianca is scheduled for Sunday, April 12, in Mirano, starting at 9:30 AM from Piazza Martiri della Libertà, within the 25th edition of the Volunteer Festival.
Routes of 8 km and 12 km are available, and as a novelty for 2026, an inclusive 2.5 km route accessible to wheelchairs, strollers, and people with reduced mobility. The routes are closed to traffic, flat, and free of architectural barriers. Proceeds support La Colonna APS.
