Half Marathon races near Cassolnovo

The Agnolotto Half Marathon Fontaneto is a half marathon held in Piedmont, Italy. The race is situated in the Novara area and is named for Fontaneto. It offers a challenging 21.1 km course for runners seeking a serious test. The route crosses the streets of Novara, providing an urban race within a notable Piedmontese city. The event is framed as a day for sport and camaraderie, where runners aim for personal bests, test their limits, and share the course with others who prefer a local half marathon over a large city event.

Monza21 allows runners to use the Monza motor-racing circuit in Lombardy, the same track used for the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix. It is held in October, avoiding the peak of the Italian summer heat, and offers four on-road distances: 5 km, 10 km, half marathon, and 30 km. The event welcomes families, catering not only to serious half-marathon runners but also providing shorter options suitable for newer participants or those running with friends and relatives. The course is rolling and fast, presenting a realistic target for personal bests for well-trained runners who pace themselves correctly. The start and finish straight feels longer when experienced firsthand than it appears on television, adding to the enjoyment of running on a venue designed for racing cars instead of road races. Aid stations are positioned along the route like pit stops, supplying runners with water, fuel, and a brief respite before they rejoin the circuit. Monza also serves as a convenient base for exploring Lombardy: Milan is approximately 45 minutes away, featuring the Duomo and Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, while Bergamo and Sirmione offer additional nearby destinations for runners before or after race day.

The routes run through Parco Molgora on flat mixed terrain, matching the name: “through fields and irrigation channels.” ASD Podisti Carugate organises the event, and the format is deliberately open: it is a recreational, free-pace outing rather than a race built around rankings.
