Coppa Mario Manzoni e Martiri della Libertà

Running and remembrance in Campomorone

The Coppa Mario Manzoni e Martiri della Libertà is the running event of Campomorone, a municipality in the hinterland of the province of Genoa, in the valley of the Verde stream. Now in its twentieth edition, the race combines the passion for sport with remembrance, named after Mario Manzoni and the Martyrs of Freedom.

Three moments for everyone

The evening is divided into three events designed to involve the entire community: the children's race, a non-competitive free walk of about two kilometres, open to anyone who wishes to participate, and the six-kilometre competitive race reserved for athletes. The starting and finishing point is the central Piazza Marconi.

Valid for the Grand Prix delle Due Valli

The competitive race is part of the Grand Prix delle Due Valli circuit, an important running calendar in the Genoese hinterland, and attracts athletes from all over the area. The organisation is handled by the Municipality of Campomorone with the support of the Liguria Region and local sports organisations.

Campomorone and the Valle Verde

Nestled in the greenery of the Genoese hinterland, Campomorone is an active municipality tied to its traditions. The Coppa Mario Manzoni represents a sporting and social event combined, capable of uniting the promotion of physical activity with the remembrance of the community's history and values.
