Castles Run

From Miramare to Piazza Unità

The Castles Run is one of the most evocative footraces in Italy: the route ideally connects two icons of Trieste, starting from the white Miramare Castle, an Hapsburg jewel set in the park overlooking the Gulf, and ending in the spectacular Piazza Unità d'Italia, the largest square in Europe open to the sea. Organized by ASD Promorun, it is a highly anticipated autumn event.

A fast and panoramic course

The competitive 10 km, FIDAL homologated and of national importance, is appreciated by runners for being fast, with long stretches along the coast. Alongside the timed race, the program includes a non-competitive 10 km for those who want to run without the pressure of time and an 8 km Family Run dedicated to families and walkers. A format that welcomes athletes and enthusiasts of all levels.

Sport and beauty meet

Running the Castles Run means crossing some of the most beautiful places in Trieste with the sea always by your side: from the green park of Miramare to the seafront, up to the finish line in the monumental heart of the city. It is no coincidence that the event, also supported by local institutions and universities, reserves free registrations each year for university students, a sign of its deep roots in the community.

Trieste, a city to run in

Between the Karst, the sea, and the historic center, Trieste offers ideal scenery for running. The Castles Run enhances its most elegant and maritime face, transforming a footrace into a true celebration of the city. For those visiting Trieste in autumn, it is also a perfect way to discover it in motion.
