Close your eyes and picture this: a trail race in Italy 🇮🇹, along the stunning shores of Lake Como, located just north of the bustling city of Milan 😍, in the region of Lombardy.
Ever felt like a Formula 1 car? 🏎️ Here's your chance during the Monza21 race, held in the city sharing the same name, located in Lombardy in northern Italy 🇮🇹. This race features four different distances on the city's legendary circuit, where the Italian Grand Prix has been held annually since 1950 🏆. You'll discover that the home straight feels much longer in person than on TV! 😂 It's a road race that can be demanding, depending on your training level and gear. Thankfully, Monza21 takes place in october, so you can avoid the sweltering summer heat 🥵 of central Italy.
Vittorio returned from Copenhagen with a question that would reshape running in Bergamo: what if runners gathered not just to chase kilometers, but to celebrate effort together over beers? He shared the idea mid-stride along the Venetian Walls with Marco and Mattia, and Bergamo Running was born in June 2015. The three founders rejected the hierarchy of traditional Italian athletic clubs, building instead something fluid and welcoming. Around twenty runners now gather every Monday at 19:30 in Trucca Park for "Better Mondays," exploring the city's dual landscape from Città Alta's steep cobblestones to the green paths below. Copenhagen's model had crossed cultures: effort plus reward equals lasting connection.
