Nine days and over thirty events in the city of Palladio
About Vicenza Running Festival
Vicenza, the capital of running
The Vicenza Running Festival is a widespread event that for nine days lights up the city of Palladio with over thirty events dedicated to the world of running and outdoor sports. A very rich calendar ranging from running to trail running, from walking to Nordic walking, from orienteering to urban trekking.
A sport for everyone
The strength of the festival is its inclusivity: the routes cross the historic streets of Vicenza and the paths of the Berici Hills, with offerings tailored for every level, from the most experienced runners to families with children. Competitive races and amateur walks coexist in a program designed to involve the entire community.
Key events
Among the main events are the Ultrabericus Trail, a historic race on the Berici Hills, and Vicenza in Rosa, the race reserved for women. Organized in Vicenza, in the province of Vicenza, the festival celebrates sport as a moment of aggregation and valorization of the territory, combining physical activity with the discovery of the historic center and the Vicenza hilly landscape.
