CorriSinagra

The race that lights up the Nebrodi village

CorriSinagra is a road running race that transforms the historic center of Sinagra, a town in the Nebrodi mountains in the Province of Messina, into a vibrant loop of energy every summer. Created to showcase the village through sport, the event is organized by ASD Podistica Capo d'Orlando as part of the official FIDAL calendar and attracts athletes from all over Sicily and various regions of Italy.

The historic center course

The heart of the race is a city circuit of approximately 1,200 meters, entirely closed to traffic, with the start and finish line on Via Umberto Corica, just a few steps from the town hall. Absolute categories (masters and seniors) complete six laps, for a total of about 7.2 km, tackling the climbs, descents, and tight corners that make this track both technical and spectacular. The layout of the village, with its narrow streets, allows the public to follow the athletes closely, lap after lap.

A celebration for all ages

Alongside the competitive race, CorriSinagra offers a non-competitive walk of about 2.4 km (two laps of the circuit), open to everyone, and a series of races reserved for children and teenagers, divided by age group with a reduced number of laps. This is how the event combines the competitive spirit of trained runners with family fun in a popular festive atmosphere.

Sport and tradition at Ferragosto

The mid-August date places CorriSinagra in the midst of the town's summer celebrations, when the village fills with residents and visitors. The race thus becomes part of the liveliest days of the Sinagra summer, amidst gastronomic events and convivial moments that highlight the flavors and traditions of the Nebrodi.

Sinagra and the Nebrodi

Nestled along the Naso stream valley, Sinagra is a village in the Messina hinterland immersed in the greenery of the Nebrodi Park. Reaching the town means traveling through hilly and wooded landscapes, a short distance from the Tyrrhenian coast. For those who love to run, CorriSinagra is also an opportunity to discover an authentic corner of inland Sicily, far from the most crowded destinations.
