Batti il 5 Run

A run for a good cause in Borgo d'Ale

The Batti il 5 Run is a running and charity event that brings the streets of Borgo d'Ale, a small town in the Province of Vercelli in the heart of Piedmont, to life. Born as a solidarity initiative, the race combines a passion for sport with the community spirit typical of Piedmontese towns, turning an early summer evening into a shared celebration.

Two events in one evening

The event is divided into two parts designed to involve all ages:

• Color run for children: a cheerful and colorful non-competitive run dedicated to the little ones, where fun matters more than the clock;
• Non-competitive 5.2 km run: open to all enthusiasts, adults and teenagers, who want to challenge themselves on an accessible course.

The meeting point and start line are at the Church of San Pietro, known to locals as the Chiesa delle Bose, on Via Mazzini, a landmark of the town.

An event with a heart for charity

What makes the Batti il 5 Run special is its charitable purpose: all registration proceeds are donated to the Fondazione Casa Regge, a third-sector organization based in Borgo d'Ale. The Foundation provides specialized rehabilitative and educational treatments for children and young people with intellectual disabilities or communication and relational difficulties, focusing on the individual and their family. Participating in the race means concretely supporting an inclusion project rooted in the Vercelli area.

The spirit of the event

The Batti il 5 Run was born from the collaboration between the Municipality of Borgo d'Ale and the local Pro Loco, in line with the Piedmontese tradition of town festivals that blend sport, social life, and civic engagement. It is an opportunity to discover an authentic corner of the Vercelli plains, also known for its vineyards, and to enjoy an evening dedicated to movement and solidarity.

Who it is for

The event is designed for families, amateur runners, groups of friends, and anyone who wants to combine an evening walk or run with a gesture of generosity. The presence of the children's color run makes it particularly suitable for those looking for an activity to share with the little ones in total safety and joy.
