The solidarity running race that has united Concorezzo for forty years
A Run for Life is one of the most beloved and long-standing events in Concorezzo, in the Province of Monza and Brianza. A non-competitive running race, open to athletes, families, children, and walkers, which every year transforms the town's streets into a grand celebration of sport and solidarity.
The start and finish are at the Villa Zoja Park, from where the 2, 6, and 10-kilometer routes unfold: those who wish can walk in company, those who prefer can run, in a relaxed and non-competitive atmosphere. It is precisely this inclusive formula that has made the race a popular event, capable of attracting hundreds of participants of all ages each year.
The deep meaning of the event is solidarity: all proceeds are donated to LILT — Italian League for the Fight against Tumors, to support cancer prevention in the Milan, Monza, and Brianza area. Running or walking thus becomes a concrete gesture, combining the pleasure of sport with social commitment.
A Run for Life is the highlight of the Festa dello Sport, the large sports village that animates Villa Zoja park every spring and kicks off the Concorezzo d'Estate season. Organized by the running club Gamber de Cuncuress with the support of local sports and commercial entities, it is the emblem of a community that works as a team.
The 40th edition of A Run for Life took place on Sunday, May 24, 2026, with gathering at 8:15 AM in Villa Zoja and staggered starts from 9:00 AM. The three non-competitive routes of 2, 6, and 10 km traversed the town, with proceeds donated to LILT Milan Monza Brianza for cancer prevention.
