II^ 10000 dell'Aceto Balsamico
The 10000 dell'Aceto Balsamico is a 10 km road race in Spilamberto, a Modena-area town known for its balsamic vinegar. Held in late October, it takes place within the historic center, not as a point-to-point course. The Modena Runners Club organizes the event, supported by Polisportiva San Vito and Atletica Spilambertese. The competitive race holds national bronze FIDAL certification.
The course is a 2 km circuit run five times, leading participants past the same streets and landmarks repeatedly. It passes under the Torrione and by Rocca Rangoni, where awards are presented. Race day also features a non-competitive run and children's races as part of the Trofeo AVIS Comunale. The inaugural event saw over 300 non-competitive participants. Local reporting highlighted it as a convergence of running and Spilamberto's culinary heritage, with Nakhl and Cordazzo finishing among the leaders in the competitive race.
30° Memorial Gasparini
The Camminata della Frutta, or “Fruit Walk,” begins at 09:30 from Via Nenni by Punto Blu in Monticelli Terme, a section of Montechiarugolo near Parma in Emilia-Romagna. This is a local walking and running event, with a maximum distance of 10.5 km, organized by Sport Center Punto Blu.
The name also carries a memorial dedication to G. Angelo Gasparini, and its numbered title marks it as a long-running community fixture. It is listed on the CSI Parma calendar, suggesting participants will primarily be local walkers, recreational runners, club members, and individuals seeking an organized countryside outing around the Parma area.
12° AiLoveRunning
AiLoveRunning is a recreational run/walk in Florence, with 10 km and 5 km options and a 09:00 start. The event is held in autumn in Tuscany, and the longest distance on the program is 10 km.
Runners start at the New Entrance of Careggi in Largo Brambilla and finish at Piazza Giovanni Meyer 2, formerly Piazza di Careggi. GS Maiano organizes the race, which is in its 12th edition and expects hundreds of runners, from people testing themselves over 5 km to others taking on the full 10 km.
Marathon de Ravenne
The Marathon de Ravenne is a race weekend in Ravenna, a city in Emilia-Romagna near Bologna known for its Byzantine mosaics. The route extends toward the Adriatic Sea. Participants can select a full marathon, half marathon, or 10 km race. The 10 km event is available in both timed and non-timed options. The event also features short, non-competitive runs like the Family Run, Dogs&Run, and Correndo Senza Frontiere.
Most races are contained within Ravenna, but the marathon route reaches Punta Marina Terme. The course winds through Piazza del Popolo, Palazzo Merlato, the Basilica of San Vitale, the Basilica of San Francesco, Rocca Brancaleone Park, and numerous UNESCO World Heritage sites linked to the city’s Byzantine history. The event attracts competitive runners, casual participants, families, friends, and partners, with some shorter runs taking place before the main race day.
9^ FUTUR RUN
9^ FUTUR RUN is a 10 km race held in Cadelbosco di Sopra, located in the Reggio Emilia area of Italy. Participants begin their run from Via G. Galilei, and the event welcomes a wide range of participants, not exclusively seasoned athletes.
The course has the organizer as a route set amidst nature, highlighting a simple 10K run away from the urban core. This marks the race's ninth edition, and its structure accommodates both novice runners, regular club members, and individuals seeking a manageable race distance.
Trail sul Trebbio
Trail sul Trebbio begins and ends at Camping la Luna sul Trebbio in Modigliana, located in the Forlì-Cesena province of Emilia-Romagna. This is a small November trail event featuring a competitive 19 km race, a non-competitive 10 km option, and a children's trail. Both adult distances have a participant limit of 150 runners.
The courses venture into the countryside and woods near Trebbio. The 19 km race requires the standard Italian competitive medical certificate and a physical club card. This event marks its tenth edition. A key attraction is the post-race "third half," which includes red wine, polenta with wild boar, and a relaxed conclusion at the campsite, distinct from a typical large-city race atmosphere.
Circuito Tre Ville – 54° Trofeo Ugo Chiavacci
The Circuito Tre Ville - Trofeo Ugo Chiavacci is a running event in Castello, Florence, taking place on the second Sunday of November. It features a competitive 10 km race and a 6 km recreational walk, both starting at 9:30 AM. Organized by Asd Atletica Castello from their base on via R. Giuliani, the event combines a local road race with a neighborhood walk, allowing participants of all levels to share the same morning.
The race route is connected to the Medici villas near Castello, specifically Villa Reale and Villa La Petraia, recognized for their gardens and parks as part of the UNESCO World Heritage. The traditional course aims to guide runners through these villa grounds. However, safety directives from the Tuscan museum authorities may necessitate an alternative 10 km route. Having completed over 50 editions, the Ugo Chiavacci trophy underscores the event's status as a long-standing Florentine club tradition.
V^ 10 km Citta' di Faenza
The 10 km Citta' di Faenza is a competitive 10K road race held in Faenza, Italy. This marks the series' fifth edition. The race is scheduled for late November and is organized by Atletica85, with Carlo Visani serving as the responsible organizer.
The race details provided are limited. The confirmed distance is 10 km, and the setting is Faenza, a city in Emilia-Romagna known for its ceramics. This local identity provides a clear marker for the event, though the published facts do not describe the exact route, start or finish areas, field size, or traditions.
XI^ Cinque Fossi
Cinque Fossi Run & Walk is a 10 km competitive race held in Minerbio, near Bologna. It takes place in late November, with the timed event beginning at 10:00 AM. Organized by I SSSIAN Run & Walk / ISSSIAN ASD, the event maintains a local and practical structure: participants have the main 10 km race, while non-competitive walkers begin earlier at 9:00 AM.
The route is described by the organizer as technical, suggesting a course that requires attention rather than a straightforward road run. The walking options offer distances from 3 km up to 14 km, accommodating determined runners, casual walkers, and those wishing to participate without completing the full 10 km race.
IX^ Trofeo Spazio Conad Vialarga
The IX Trofeo Spazio Conad Vialarga is a 10 km race held in Bologna, now in its ninth edition and associated with the Spazio Conad Vialarga name. Organizers state it is the largest 10 km event in the local area, attracting a broad field of regional runners instead of just a small club roster.
The course is defined by the city and the 10 km distance; a detailed street-by-street route is not provided. The event is designed for both strong local athletes and regular runners from the region, offering a 10 km challenge that measures endurance and race-day composure.
21° Corriamo al Sodo
Corriamo al Sodo begins at 09:00 from Piazzetta del Sodo on via Reginaldo Giuliani in Florence. It is a local running and walking event offering a 10 km route and a shorter 4 km option, suitable for those seeking a solid run and for participants preferring a relaxed community outing. The Italian description translates to a “recreational sports morning” rather than a competitive race day.
The event is linked to the Immacolata holiday and marks its 21st edition, organized by Gs Le Panche Castelquarto. It attracts runners, walkers, families, and local residents, noted as a Florentine fixture with the atmosphere of a small neighborhood festival. The 15th Coppa Cattolica Assicurazioni Sirio Sas takes place concurrently, contributing another local element to an event centered on sport, social interaction, and shared experiences.

Bologna Training Notes
Bologna hosts 16 10K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.
Locals run Giardini Margherita when they want clean laps and easy pace checks. Giardini Margherita gives you 2km laps if you follow the outer roads. RunChallenge meets at Giardini Margherita, Porta Castiglione, on Mondays from 18:45 to 20:00, with Walk, Start, and Fast groups. Via di San Luca gives runners just under 2 km uphill under the portico with about 200 m of gain. Parco Talon and Parco della Chiusa sit by the Reno river for longer dirt miles. Trail runners use Saragozza, San Mamolo, Castiglione, and Murri. Maratona di Bologna, CASAGLIA - SAN LUCA, and 44° StraBologna anchor the calendar.
Locals ride the gates, the canals, and the first Apennine ramps without making a big production of it. The Tangenziale delle Biciclette connects Bologna’s gates and works well for quick links across town. The loop takes 5 hours and gives you 430m of climbing. Cavaioni Park hits hard when the final stretch reaches gradients between 15%-20%. The Portico of St. Luke brings the 666 arches, the San Luca pull, and proper intervals. The Navile Canal gives hybrid bikes a 6km gravel line. The Ciclovia del Sole runs 46km from Bologna to Mirandola. Giro dell'Emilia is the anchor event.
Spring and autumn suit both sports best, especially when base miles need hills without drama. Summer brings hot, humid days, so locals start early, keep Z2 honest, and save San Luca or Cavaioni efforts for controlled sessions. Giardini Margherita stays useful for running when you want shade, laps, and a steady rhythm. The hills above Saragozza, San Mamolo, Castiglione, and Murri stay the place for trail legs and bike climbing. Winter changes the kit and the mood more than the routes. Snow is not uncommon between late November and early March, so runners stick to reliable parks and cyclists choose the Tangenziale, city paths, or lower loops when the climbs turn messy.
