Trail Run Lugano: Swiss Lakes and Mountains

In March 2026, a group of runners in Gallarate looked at Malpensa Airport and thought: every run is a flight. Malpensa Running Crew launched with a simple creed: nessuno viene mai lasciato indietro, nobody gets left behind. Founders built the crew around conversation over splits, inclusivity over pace hierarchy. Today, around 45 runners of all levels gather Thursday evenings at 7pm from Cinelandia Gallarate for easy 8km runs. The vibe is deliberately informal: post-run drinks at neighborhood bars, seasonal breakfast runs, beach volleyball on summer evenings. Friendships form as naturally as the weekly routes. This is running stripped of pretense, where your time matters far less than whether you showed up and felt part of something real.

She Runs was born in June 2025 in Cesano Maderno, a town in the heart of Monza e Brianza. Two women with a shared vision created a space where every woman could lace up and feel at home. Running here is about more than miles. She Runs stands for inclusion, empowerment, and the freedom to move at your own pace, on your own terms. Women of all paces and backgrounds show up every Monday evening at Parco Borromeo for an easy social run. The energy is warm, the support is real, and no one runs alone. It is the kind of evening that leaves you feeling lighter than when you arrived.
