10K races near Mentana

Cardio Race takes place within the 140 hectares of Ippodromo Roma Capannelle, the historic Rome horse-racing venue recognized as Italy's first racecourse. Held annually near World Heart Day, it features a 12.4 km road race for competitive and non-competitive participants, a 5.23 km non-competitive option, and a 1 km Kids Run. The event has been held since 2013 with a specific health objective: promoting heart health awareness, supporting cardiovascular disease research, and combating sudden cardiac death. The course remains within the Capannelle grounds, offering a more contained atmosphere than a city road race and catering to both timed participants and those primarily supporting the cause. DreamCom organizes the event, with scientific guidance from the INRC, Italy's National Institute for Cardiovascular Research. A Heart Village is established at the venue, featuring medical and informational zones, including free preventive health screenings for the public. The event highlights that cardiovascular disease causes over 4.3 million deaths annually in Europe, with lifestyle factors like smoking, diet, inactivity, and alcohol consumption contributing to the issue.

Corricures is a 10 km race held in Passo Corese, located in the Rieti province of Lazio. Organized by ASD Corri Cures, it offers local road runners a short, demanding race instead of a long-distance event. The route follows the trails surrounding Passo Corese, distinguishing it from a simple flat 10K through the town center. Recent results indicate a fast pace at the front, with the winner completing the course in 33:35 and several other participants finishing under 37 minutes. Clubs such as Tivoli Marathon, Faratletica, Atletico Monterotondo, Gruppo Millepiedi, Atletica Fiano Romano, and Amatori Villa Pamphili are represented in the top results.

Corri al Massimo per IRENE is an annual charity run in the Rome area, organized by the IRENE association with technical support from ASD Podistica Ostia. It is dedicated to Massimo Crocco, a sportsman who died from a brain tumor, and it pairs a competitive race with a shorter non-competitive run for people who want to join without racing hard. The non-competitive option is 5 km, while the competitive distance is listed as either 7 km or 10 km depending on the edition. One course stays fully inside Villa Pamphili, with a meeting point at the Bel Respiro Senior Center; another starts near the Kursaal establishment on Via Isabella di Castiglia. Runners get chip timing, a race pack, and a finish refreshment. The event raises money for projects helping brain tumor patients and their families. It also links with Walk around the World, an International Brain Tumor Alliance initiative supporting people affected by brain tumors.

The Corsa dei Santi begins and ends in St. Peter's Square. Runners gather in Rome on All Saints' Day for a race connected to the feast day it commemorates. Promoted by Missioni Don Bosco and organized by ACSI Italia Atletica, the event features both competitive and amateur categories. International athletes compete alongside beginners, families, and participants in the non-competitive run. The traditional 10 km race is offered, along with the Giro delle Quattro Basiliche, a 19.5 km route that circles Rome's major Christian landmarks. The course crosses Rome's historic center, passing squares, churches, palaces, and streets near the Vatican before returning to Piazza San Pietro. The Giro delle Quattro Basiliche connects San Pietro, San Paolo, San Giovanni, and Santa Maria Maggiore, then returns to St. Peter's. This route can also be run as the Staffetta della Pace, a four-leg relay with exchanges at the basilicas and along Via dei Fori Imperiali. Each year, the race supports humanitarian projects linked to the Salesian missions through its visibility, television coverage, testimonials, and phone fundraising. Previous testimonials have included Giusy Versace, Carl Lewis, Dee Dee Bridgewater, Anggun, Valentina Vezzali, Al Bano, Fiona May, Marcell Jacobs, and Sara Simeoni.
