The Giro di San Giacomo is one of Trieste's most historic running races, with over eighty years of tradition. A road race in the Campi Elisi area, in the heart of the popular San Giacomo district, which opens the Trofeo Trieste and attracts enthusiasts and runners of all ages every year.

A race in the heart of the district

It takes place in the popular San Giacomo district, in the Campi Elisi area, with the start and finish near the Ariston Cinema, along a city route of a few kilometers suitable for both competitive runners and amateurs.

Opening the Trofeo Trieste

The race is the first event of the Trofeo Trieste, the running circuit that accompanies the city's sports season through its various road races. This is why the Giro di San Giacomo attracts a large number of participants every year, including local running clubs, registered athletes, and simple enthusiasts who want to kick off the racing year.

Sport and community

Organized by ASD GS San Giacomo Trieste in collaboration with the Trofeo Trieste, the Giro is much more than a competition: it is a district festival, where sport intertwines with the life of the neighborhood. The presence of honored guests linked to the history of Julian and national athletics enriches each edition with symbolic value, uniting generations in the name of running.

Trieste, a city of sport
