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.

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.
