A tenth edition marked by Africa

The 2025 edition of the Telesia Half Marathon, the tenth in the race's history, took place on Sunday, October 5, 2025, in Telese Terme, with the start at 9:15 AM from Viale Europa in front of the Thermal complex. The eighteenth edition of the Telesia 10K was also held.

Among the men, Kenyan Vincent Momanyi won in 1h02'30", ahead of his compatriots Jacob Kipkorir Kosgei (1h02'35") and Simon Dudi Ekidor (1h02'42"), confirming the international level reached by the Sannio event. The first Italian was Fabrizio Meoli, sixth overall in 1h11'45".

In the women's race, Rwandan Clementine Mukandanga won in 1h13'13", followed by Ethiopians Betelhem Tenaw (1h15'55") and Wolkeba Asmerawork (1h19'07").

Behind the elite runners, the amateur group saw 1,207 finishers, including 148 women: a figure that reaffirmed the role of the Telesia 21K as the main running event in inland Campania and as a tourist showcase for the Telesina Valley.
