The historic non-competitive running race of Rozzano
In Rozzano, in the province of Milan, there is a race that is part of the city's history: the Strambrogina, the non-competitive run that will reach its fortieth edition in 2026. Open to everyone, it is one of those "t-shirt and trainers" events that focus not on the stopwatch, but on the pleasure of running and walking together.
The Strambrogina is not a speed race: it is a walk open to amateur runners, families, children, and outdoor activity enthusiasts. The start is at 5:00 PM from the Sant'Ambrogio Oratory, from where participants wind their way through the city streets, each at their own pace. Every registrant receives a numbered bib, a symbol of belonging to a community tradition.
The event is organized by the parish of Sant'Ambrogio together with the amateur sports association USSA Rozzano, with the patronage of the Municipality. It is an example of how sport and the parish world can network to offer the city a healthy and accessible moment of aggregation, within everyone's reach.
With its forty years of history, the Strambrogina is much more than a race: it is an event that tells the spirit of Rozzano and its connection with the patron saint Sant'Ambrogio. For those who want to experience a day of sport and community on the outskirts of Milan, it is the right opportunity to tie up your shoes and participate.
The 2026 edition, the fortieth, confirms the formula of the non-competitive run open to everyone. The start is at 5:00 PM from the Sant'Ambrogio Oratory; each participant receives a numbered bib. Registrations are collected at the USSA Rozzano headquarters. Information on the route and refreshment points on the association's website.
