The Corrida de Noël de Bologne is a running race held before Christmas in Bologne. It begins in the early afternoon on a Sunday during the final weeks before the holiday. This is a local winter event, not a large city race, with approximately 180 runners registered beforehand and organizers aiming for over 200 participants.
AS Bologne organizes the race, with Christophe Guillaumé as its new president. The Christmas theme is important: participants are encouraged to wear costumes, and the best one receives an award. One past race occurred on the same day as the football World Cup final, which may have affected attendance; organizers anticipate a better turnout when the date does not conflict with major sporting events.
