Cavaglio che corre — Autumn Leg of the Gamba d'Oro Circuit

Cavaglio che corre, a run for everyone

In Cavaglio d'Agogna, a municipality of just over a thousand inhabitants in the Province of Novara, Piedmont, autumn brings one of the community's most cherished events: Cavaglio che corre, the autumn stage of the Gamba d'Oro circuit. This is not a race for elite athletes, but a non-competitive fun run: you can run to improve your personal best or simply walk with friends, enjoying the colors of the Novara countryside.

The Gamba d'Oro circuit

The Gamba d'Oro is a historic running circuit in Upper Piedmont that has been bringing together dozens of stages across the Province of Novara, with some extensions into the Vercelli area, for nearly half a century. Every year, the calendar offers numerous non-competitive walks organized by local Pro Loco associations from March to October. Cavaglio d'Agogna is a key location, hosting two stages: one in spring and this one in autumn, which ideally closes the local circuit season.

Two routes for everyone

The format follows the typical Gamba d'Oro style, designed to be truly inclusive. Two routes are available: a more challenging 10 km course for those who want to test their endurance, and a short 2 km route ideal for families, children, and casual walkers. The paths wind through the village streets and the country trails surrounding Cavaglio d'Agogna, set in a gentle landscape of rice paddies and hills at the gateway to the Novara region.

A village festival

Beyond the sporting aspect, Cavaglio che corre is above all a moment of community gathering. The event is managed by the Pro Loco Tourist Association of Cavaglio d'Agogna, which handles registration and welcomes participants at the Casetta Pro Loco on Via Cavaglietto. At the end of the walk, there is always a refreshment area and the traditional social gathering, making the event a perfect opportunity to discover the hospitality of this corner of Piedmont.
