Correndo con Michela + Sport and Health in the Square

A day dedicated to sport and well-being

Every year, in late spring, the town of Narzole comes alive for an event that combines sport, health, and solidarity. It is organized by the Camminando con Michela Onlus association, which for years has been promoting a simple yet powerful message throughout the Roero area in the province of Cuneo, Piedmont: moving is good for you, and doing it together is even better. The day is divided into two distinct yet complementary parts: the morning dedicated to running and the afternoon to local sports disciplines.

The morning: Correndo con Michela

The heart of the event is "Correndo con Michela", a non-competitive run and walk with a meeting point at 9:00 AM in Piazza Papa Giovanni XXIII, which serves as both the start and finish line. The route, described as partly urban and partly surrounded by nature, is designed to be accessible to everyone: whether you prefer to run at a steady pace or simply walk in good company. Each participant receives the event t-shirt, a race pack, and a bib, which is then used for the prize draw at the end of the day.

The afternoon: Sport and Health in the Square

From 2:00 PM, the festivities continue with "Sport e Salute in Piazza", a showcase dedicated to local sports organizations. The afternoon kicks off with an inaugural parade starting from the Pietro Dotta gardens, followed by the distribution of the "sports passport" to the younger participants. This is followed by demonstrations from local sports clubs, opportunities for children and teenagers to try out various disciplines—from team sports to individual ones—and the final prize draw.

Entertainment and guests

The day is accompanied by music and entertainment, featuring DJ Andrea Caponnetto. Over the years, the event has hosted local athletes, such as swimmer Anita Gastaldi, highlighting the bond between the event and the local sports world. For those participating in the race, there is also the option to have lunch at participating local restaurants in Narzole.
