About Run the Night Cuneo

Run the Night is Cuneo's night half marathon: an evening race winding through the historic arcades and tree-lined avenues overlooking the Alps. On a 21.0975 km FIDAL-certified course, as well as shorter distances and fitwalking, runners of all levels gather under the city lights for a night of sport. At the heart of the event is solidarity: for every registration, 10 euros are donated to the "C'è da Fare" association to support youth mental health.

A half marathon that runs through the night

In Cuneo, the capital of the province of the same name in the heart of Piedmont, running changes its rhythm once the sun goes down. Run the Night – Cuneo Half Marathon is an evening running event that turns the historic center into an illuminated stage for runners of all levels. Far from the heat of summer daytime races, here you run when the air is cooler and the lights of the arcades and Piazza Galimberti accompany every step.

The event has grown rapidly: launched in 2025 as its first edition, it has already attracted thousands of participants, confirming a winning formula that combines sport, a nocturnal atmosphere, and a strong commitment to charity.

A route through arcades, avenues, and views of the Alps

The course is a picturesque 10.5 km loop, officially measured and approved by FIDAL, which embraces the entire Cuneo plateau. The competitive 21.0975 km half marathon is run by completing this circuit twice, while shorter distances cover just one lap. You will run through the historic arcades, long tree-lined avenues overlooking the mountains, and the city's monumental squares, with a gentle and constant elevation change that makes the course ideal both for those chasing a fast time and those simply wanting to enjoy the run.

For everyone: from competitive athletes to fitwalkers

Run the Night is not just a race for registered athletes: alongside the competitive half marathon, there is a 10 km non-competitive run, fitwalking, and youth races dedicated to younger categories. It is an event designed to involve the entire Cuneo community and the many enthusiasts arriving from outside the province.

Running for a cause

The true engine of the event is solidarity. For every registration, 10 euros are donated to the "C'è da Fare" association, which is committed to supporting the mental health and psychological well-being of young people. Running the Run the Night therefore also means making a concrete contribution to support projects in the area.

Cuneo, a city to discover on the run

As the capital of one of the largest provinces in Piedmont, Cuneo is a city of elegant arcades, wide squares, and a direct view of the Alpine arc. Experiencing the city at night, on the run, with the party continuing after the finish line in Piazza Galimberti, is an experience that goes beyond simple running competition.

Run the Night Cuneo — edition 2026

The second edition of Run the Night returns to Cuneo on Friday, June 26, 2026, in the evening. The 21.0975 km competitive FIDAL half marathon is run over two laps of the 10.5 km loop, accompanied by a 10 km non-competitive run, fitwalking, and youth races. The solidarity formula in favor of the "C'è da Fare" association is confirmed.

The 2026 edition

The 2nd edition of Run the Night will take place on Friday, June 26, 2026, in Cuneo, with an evening start from Via Roma.
