Conero Running

A Run with a View of Conero

Conero Running is one of the most beloved running events in the Marche region and the symbolic sporting event of Numana, a pearl of the Conero Riviera in the province of Ancona. Every year, at the end of April, the seafront and the Tourist Port transform into the beating heart of a festival that attracts runners, enthusiasts, and tourists from all over the region and beyond, in a weekend dedicated to sport, nature, and solidarity.

Three Races for Everyone

The event offers three races designed for every level and age:

• Conero Running: the competitive half marathon on the classic distance of 21.097 km, valid as a FIDAL federal race and the main event of the day;
• Conero Ten: the 10.8 km fun run, non-competitive, open to runners and walkers;
• Mini Conero: the 4 km dedicated to families, children, and teenagers, to enjoy the festival without the pressure of the clock.

The route winds along the Adriatic coast, offering panoramic views of the Conero promontory and the sea, between Numana and the neighboring municipalities: a fast and evocative course that combines competitive challenge with the pleasure of running in one of the most beautiful coastal stretches of the Marche.

Sport and Solidarity

Conero Running is not just a race. The event has always had a charitable soul: one euro for each participant is donated to the Salesi Hospital Foundation Ets of Ancona, the regional pediatric hospital. Over the years, the event, also combined with the Tordelli Memorial, has raised tens of thousands of euros for the facility, turning every step of the participants into a concrete gesture of support.

Numana and the Conero Riviera

Running the Conero Running means discovering Numana, a village overlooking the Adriatic in the heart of the Conero Regional Park. Beaches nestled between white cliffs, the perched historic center, and Mediterranean scrub provide the natural backdrop for a race that is also an opportunity to experience the territory. Spring, with its mild climate and the tourist season about to begin, is the ideal time to combine sport and discovery of the Province of Ancona.
