Trofeo Città di Fasano
The great celebration of Apulian running through the streets of Fasano
About Trofeo Città di Fasano
A running festival in the heart of Puglia
The Trofeo Città di Fasano is one of the most popular road races in the province of Brindisi and a staple of the Apulian running calendar. Every year, between late May and early June, the streets of Fasano, in the heart of the Itria Valley, fill with athletes, enthusiasts, and families for a day entirely dedicated to running and community. The event is organised by Polisport Ciclo Club Fasano, a historic local sports club, and is part of the regional Corripuglia championship.
The course and the race
The competitive race covers a distance of approximately 10.5 kilometres, along a mostly flat route that winds through the main city streets and extends into the countryside of the Fasano territory. The race starts in the morning, while the awards ceremony takes place in the central squares, the beating heart of the event. Alongside the competitive race, there is a non-competitive fun run of about 8-10 kilometres, designed for families, amateurs, and casual runners, featuring refreshment points and pacer support.
Numbers and participation
The Trofeo Città di Fasano regularly attracts over a thousand participants, including competitive runners and fun-run enthusiasts, cementing its status as one of the most crowded stages of the Corripuglia circuit. Athletes from all over the region gather in Fasano, helping to make the event a true festival of outdoor sport.
In memory of Giacomo Rosato
Recent editions have also taken on deep emotional significance with the establishment of the Trofeo Giacomo Rosato, dedicated to the memory of the local athlete and entrepreneur who passed away in 2024. It is an award that blends the competitive spirit with the memory of a figure much loved by the local sports community.
Fasano and the Itria Valley
The event is also a perfect opportunity to discover Fasano, an elegant town in the province of Brindisi overlooking the Adriatic and nestled among the ancient olive trees of the Itria Valley. Its historic centre, the surrounding masserie (farmhouses), and the landscape of the Apulian countryside provide the backdrop for a day that combines sport, tradition, and typical Apulian hospitality.
