Passeggiata Campagnanese

The Passeggiata Campagnanese

Every April 25th, Castel Campagnano, a small town in the province of Caserta overlooking the Volturno Valley, gathers for the Passeggiata Campagnanese: a non-competitive amateur walking event that has become a historic tradition for the Middle Volturno area. It is not a speed race or a timed competition, but a collective walk that combines gentle exercise, landscape discovery, and community spirit, attracting hundreds of participants from across the province.

Sport, nature, and community

The event is organized by the Pro Loco Castel Campagnano with the patronage of the municipal administration and the collaboration of the provincial UNPLI and the local Sports Group. The format is a walk open to all, from the youngest to those over seventy: everyone walks together, without rankings or pressure, to rediscover the natural resources of the area, the river, and the hills surrounding the town.

Two routes between hills and river

The itinerary features two routes of different lengths: a shorter one, around 6 kilometers, designed for children and those who prefer a more leisurely pace, and a more challenging one of about 14 kilometers for experienced walkers. Both cross the hilly paths and countryside of the municipality, offering views of the agricultural landscape of the Middle Volturno.

The stop in Squille and the Asparagus Festival

The most anticipated moment is the stop in the hamlet of Squille, where the walk intersects with the Asparagus Festival: here, participants stop for lunch to enjoy local products in a festive atmosphere that turns the march into a true day of conviviality. It is the community heart of the event, the point where walking and gastronomic tradition merge.

A long-awaited return

After a six-year hiatus, the Passeggiata Campagnanese returned in 2025 with its 33rd edition, greeted by a real boom in registrations among adults and children. The success of that return confirmed the event's place in the spring calendar of Castel Campagnano and the inland Campania region, with the 34th edition scheduled for April 25, 2026.
