Spring Relay Race
Molinella's team running race at the Augusto Magli Stadium
About Spring Relay Race
The Staffetta di Primavera of Molinella
The Staffetta di Primavera is one of the most cherished running events in Molinella, a municipality in the Bolognese plain in Emilia-Romagna, within the metropolitan city of Bologna. Reaching its fifth edition in 2026, the event is organized by G.P. Atletica Molinella, a local sports club that has been promoting road running and athletics in the area for years.
A team race, convivial and open to all
As the name suggests, the heart of the event is the relay race: participants run in teams, taking turns in the race segments. The spirit is more that of a festive evening than a strenuous competitive race: the team format emphasizes sharing, fun, and the pleasure of running together, and welcomes runners of all ages and fitness levels.
The Augusto Magli Stadium, home of the event
The gathering and start take place at the Augusto Magli municipal stadium in Molinella, the city's sports facility that serves as the race headquarters. The relay race is held in the evening, with participant check-in in previous editions usually around 7 PM, allowing participants to run during the cooler late afternoon and early evening hours of early summer.
An event that grows year by year
Born in the early twenties of the new century, the Staffetta di Primavera has grown edition after edition, becoming a stable fixture in the event calendar of the Municipality of Molinella, which includes it among the official local events. It is an opportunity to bring together running clubs from the surrounding area, families, and running enthusiasts from the province of Bologna for an evening of popular sport.
