IX^ StraBresso (10km)

StraBresso is a road race in Bresso offering 5 km and 10 km distances for adults, plus a 2 km race for schools. The 5 km and 10 km races are FIDAL-homologated. Participants can run either distance competitively or non-competitively, accommodating licensed runners and those seeking a local, casual run. The school race offers a distinct local character. Parents and accompanying adults may participate. Each runner receives a colored bracelet corresponding to their chosen school. This marks the event's ninth year, with official routes available for all three distances. The 5 km and 10 km races are open to all participants.

Deejay Ten Milano

Deejay Ten Milano is a 10 km road race in central Milan, organized by Radio Deejay and run on closed city streets. It begins at 9 AM from Piazza del Duomo and finishes back in the city center, offering runners a race day centered around one of Milan’s most recognizable squares. The route remains in the city center, with traffic closed and Radio Deejay’s music and entertainment positioned along the course. Runners participate from across Italy, and the Deejay Village in Piazza Sempione manages bib and race-packet pickup before the race.

Monza21 (Half-Marathon in Monza)

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.

VI^ Memorial Mattia Corvi

The Memorial Mattia Corvi is a 5 km road race in Gravedona ed Uniti, held in October in the town center by the lake. It is a national-level FIDAL Bronze event on a homologated 5 km course. Recent editions have also counted for the FIDAL Lombardia 5 km road championship for Allievi, Junior, Promesse, and Senior runners. The course uses two similar 2.5 km laps, with minimal elevation gain and repeated passes along the lakefront. It is designed for fast running, then sends athletes onto the track for the finish, where many spectators gather. Earlier editions also linked the memorial with the CSI regional road running championship and opened the race to all categories.

Vibram Ultra Trail Lago d'Orta

Vibram Ultra Trail Lago d'Orta is an autumn trail-running series based in Omegna, on Lake Orta in Piedmont, Italy. The distances range from short trails to a full ultra, with 12 km, 21 km, 34 km, 55 km, and 100 km options. The long race is a single 100 km loop with 5,270 m of climbing, while the 55 km race is also a single loop and still includes 2,860 m of ascent. The 34 km route adds 2,000 m of climbing, making even the middle-distance option a serious mountain run. The routes traverse woods, technical trails, hard climbs, and offer viewpoints over Lake Orta and the surrounding mountains. The 100 km, 55 km, and 34 km races award ITRA points, attracting runners building ultra experience and those seeking a demanding day in the mountains. The 55 km race is the most popular of the main formats, with over 500 runners in the previous edition, while the 100 km still had more than 200. Runners also come from outside Italy, and the event connects the racing weekend with local food, villages, and traditions around the lake.

IV^ 4 Piazze Running

4 Piazze Running is a 5 km road race held in Piacenza in late November. The certified city-centre course is organized by Atletica Piacenza and Italpose, with Cavalli square as the start and finish. The route starts with a 200-metre out-and-back section. Runners then complete three laps linking four central squares: Cavalli, Borgo, Sant Antonino, and Duomo. The men's race has been won by Giuseppe Gravante in 14:22, with seven men finishing under 15 minutes. Giulia Aprile won the women's race in 16:33, setting a new record from 16:58.

Stramilano SottoZero

Stramilano SottoZero is the winter version of Stramilano, the well-known Milan city-running series. It is a road race in Milan on December 1st, with temperatures near zero Celsius, so winter clothing is necessary. Participants select either 5 km or 10 km. The short, very flat course is accessible for new runners, while still allowing experienced runners to compete seriously. All participants begin at Viale Cassiodoro, and the course follows the 5 km path within Parco di CityLife. The location places the race among the modern buildings of CityLife, instead of a lengthy tour of the entire city. It can be entered competitively or casually, aligning with the Stramilano event series that also offers 5 km, 10 km, and half marathon distances. The inaugural event sold out, providing this cold-weather race a rapid start with local participants.

Synlab Como Lake Half Marathon e 5 km

The Synlab Como Lake Half Marathon begins and ends at Villa Olmo in Como, with the finish line situated before the neoclassical villa and its expansive park. This December road race offers two distances: the officially certified 21.0975 km half marathon and a 5 km option for participants seeking the same event atmosphere without the full half-marathon challenge. The half marathon departs from central Como, tracing the Lake Como branch past Cernobbio, Moltrasio, Carate Urio, and Laglio before looping back to Villa Olmo. The course is FIDAL-certified, though not designed for personal bests because of its rolling terrain along the lake and inclines that demand careful pacing. Cernobbio features Villa Erba as an additional route landmark, and by the mid-2020s, the event had already marked its 13th running.

About 5K races in Milan

Milan Miles And Canal Rides

Milan hosts 14 5K races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals run Milan like a dense grid with good escape lines. The 2-mile loop around the castle and park works for quick runs, and Giardini Pubblici Indro Montanelli works for steady laps in Porta Venezia. The Navigli route and Martesana path carry base miles, and the path is always filled with bikers and joggers. History Run Club Milan meets Saturdays at 9:30 AM outside GUD Bar Darsena for 20 mins out and 20 mins back. Yapperz Club brings Turbo Yap on Tuesday nights and Sunday Yap at Arco della Pace. Generali Milano Marathon, Deejay Ten Milano, Stramilano Half Marathon, and Trofeo Montestella 10K are the anchor events.

Locals ride flat first, then point the bike north when the legs want work. The route is 6 km and gains 259 m. Circonvalley Bikes does a lot of group rides and keeps a dedicated WhatsApp chat. ASD - Amatori Drali - Drali Milano brings the old-school club feel, with vintage rides, recreational rides, and race certifications from Via Palmieri, 25. Climbs sit north toward Lake Como and the Alps, where Lecco via Tram reaches 92 km and 781 m. Milano Deejay TRI and MilanoTRI sit on the calendar when you want a hard anchor.

Spring and autumn are Milan’s cleanest training blocks, with March-May and September-November giving runners and riders the best rhythm. Locals use those months for intervals in Sempione, Z2 on the Martesana, and longer rides toward the Adda river or Lake Como. Summer gets hot and humid, and peak temperatures climb above 30°C, so early starts matter. Nighttime often stays muggy because humidity hangs around the city. Winter turns cold, and daily averages can fall below freezing. The city gets about seven days of snow per year, so runners stay on park loops and riders keep canal spins steady unless the roads are clear.
