CorriBitritto

CorriBitritto, the December road race in Bitritto

CorriBitritto is the traditional road race that, every December, turns the streets of the Town of Bitritto, in the province of Bari, into a grand stage for running enthusiasts. Reaching its eighteenth edition in 2025, the event has become a staple of the Apulian running calendar, drawing hundreds of athletes from all over Puglia and neighboring regions.

A fast 10-kilometer course

The heart of the day is the 10 km competitive race, held on a FIDAL-certified circuit starting and finishing in Piazza Aldo Moro, in the center of Bitritto. The route is fast and well-suited for quick times, with minimal elevation changes: the only notable climb is the short stretch on Via Randa, which crosses the Bitritto countryside before heading back into town. It is a course highly appreciated by runners looking to set a personal best over the distance.

The fun run

Alongside the competitive race, there is a 5 km fun run, which is non-competitive and open to everyone: families, amateurs, and casual enthusiasts can walk or run the town streets together in a festive atmosphere. It is the perfect opportunity to experience the event without any pressure to perform, promoting sport as a moment of social connection and well-being.

Part of the Terra di Bari circuit

CorriBitritto is part of the Terra di Bari circuit and the FIDAL Bari Provincial Trophy, the main benchmarks for road running in the Bari area. This inclusion guarantees a large and qualified turnout: in 2025, over 600 competitive athletes crossed the finish line, confirming the vitality of the local running scene.

Organization

The event is organized by A.S.D. Atletica Bitritto, a club that also manages an active youth sector, under the coordination of Domenico Ginefra. For years, the association has invested in promoting track and field in the town, making CorriBitritto its most important showcase.
