May: the month of sports

Bologna, a city in the heart of Italy’s “sport valley,” awaits you with two important events in May.

May 12: StraBologna
The highly anticipated appointment with the city marathon is back, this year consisting of as many as 6 routes.STRABOLOGNA CLASSIC: StraBologna is the city’s party: suitable for runners, perfect for walkers. There are no firsts or winners, the event is recreational/motor-based and anyone can participate at their own pace. Joining the event means sharing a morning of sports and wellness with thousands of other people: a great early summer celebration that has involved more than 20 thousand participants for several years.
STRABOLOGNA SCUOLE: Schools participating in the StraBologna Scuole project take part in the Emil Banca Grand Prix, through which Emil Banca offers cash prizes for the purchase of school supplies for participating schools.
STRABOLOGNA GROUPS: form a GROUP of at least 20 participants and sign up for StraBologna together with your friends, climb the leaderboard and win one of the prizes offered by our partners. We reward the most numerous groups, the group with the most original name, the group with the most children, the group with the most dogs: you will be called together with your friends on the stage that will be set up in Piazza Maggiore, in front of the Basilica of San Petronio.
STRABOLOGNA TEAMS: introduced in 2023, StraBologna Teams allows companies to form a group of female colleagues: form a TEAM and sign up for StraBologna to spend an enjoyable morning of team building. Together you can climb the Team rankings and win prizes raffled off by our partners.
You will be called to the stage in Piazza Maggiore-a unique opportunity.
STRABOLOGNA DOGS: StraBologna confirms its pet friendly spirit with the StraBologna Dogs that allows you to register together with your four-legged friend, for whom there is a dedicated race pack and refreshment points along the routes.
STRABOLOGNA GREEN: StraBologna is one of the most ecological and environmentally sustainable events in Italy. With the support of Hera and our volunteers we set up several recycling collection points at each edition. In recent years we have recorded record numbers, with more than 90 percent of waste sorted.
