About Oderzo International Race

Every May 1st, Oderzo (province of Treviso) transforms into the Italian capital of road running. The Oderzo International Race "Archaeological City" is a 10 km race that draws the best Italian and international middle-distance specialists to the heart of Piazza Grande, alongside the Opitergium Under 20 Trophy, a challenge between ten European national teams. Organized by Atletica Tre Comuni, the event combines elite sport, the identity of the Veneto "archaeological city," and a day of celebration for the entire town.

A Road Running Classic

The Oderzo International Race "Archaeological City" is one of the most prestigious road races in the Veneto region. It takes place in Oderzo (province of Treviso) on May 1st, with the start and finish in the picturesque Piazza Grande, and is organized by Atletica Tre Comuni. The name "Archaeological City" refers to the ancient Roman Opitergium, of which Oderzo preserves important evidence.

The 10 km and the Opitergium Trophy

The main event is the 10 km road race, held in the afternoon and attracting top-level Italian and foreign athletes. Alongside the main race, the Opitergium Under 20 Trophy pits ten European national teams against each other in a team competition, while the Grand Prix Giovani brings the talents of Triveneto middle-distance running to the track in the youth categories.

Elite Sport Live

The event is also broadcast live on Atletica Italiana TV, a testament to the prestige the event has achieved. For Oderzo and the entire Marca Trevigiana, May 1st is a day of sport and celebration, uniting the passion for athletics with the promotion of the historic center and the city's identity.
