Ricordando Serena is a 10-kilometer cross race in Poggio Caiano, province of Prato, Tuscany. It is run in summer with an evening start, a practical choice for racing after the hottest part of the day. The main race is competitive and timed, with nine categories, and youth races start earlier in the evening.
The course is flat and located within Parco delle Cascine, but the cross format requires runners to handle varied, non-asphalt terrain rather than a standard road surface. It suits intermediate and advanced runners seeking a measured effort on mixed ground. The race is in its 26th edition, a regular fixture on the Tuscan running calendar.
