Races that repeat — weekly, monthly or yearly

XI^ Telesia Half Marathon - Telesia 21K
SUN OCT 4
The Telesia Half Marathon, also known as Telesia 21K, is a road half marathon held in Telese Terme, Italy, each October. It covers the standard 21.0975 km distance. A 10 km option is also available, catering to participants not seeking the full half marathon distance. October weather in Telese Terme is typically mild for racing, with temperatures often ranging from 12 to 22 degrees Celsius, though mornings can be crisp and there is a possibility of rain. The course is approved by IAAF and AIMS and designated as category A, allowing performances to be recognized for national rankings. This race is included in the World Athletics Label Road Races and holds Silver Label certification from the Italian Athletics Federation. The event's layout is efficient, with athlete services located just meters from the start and finish lines, simplifying logistics before and after the run.
StraSalerno
SUN OCT 25
StraSalerno is a running event held in Salerno, Italy, organized by ASD Atletica Vis Nova Salerno since 1993. The primary event is a half marathon, with a 10K race offered concurrently and shorter, non-competitive options for those seeking a less demanding participation. The schedule also features a 10K fun run and a 2K fun run. Both have options for individual sign-ups, and the recreational events allow for group registration. The organizers provide distinct regulations for the half marathon, the 10K, and the fun runs, along with a downloadable course map and liability waiver. This structure accommodates both timed competitors and local participants joining in groups.
XXI^ Forio In Corsa
SUN DEC 27
Forio In Corsa is a 10 km running race through Forio, held in late December on the island of Ischia. The route is presented as a way to see the town itself, with the organizer pointing runners toward Forio’s beauty and less obvious corners. The race is pitched to runners who want a lively town run rather than only a time trial. Its messaging leans heavily on community, personal challenge, and the shared energy of runners trying to test themselves over a manageable 10 km distance.

Naples Training Notes

Naples hosts 6 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 the Lungomare when they want a flat, breezy path with Vesuvius in the eyeline. The city centre makes you work, because Old Town Napoli and Spaccanapoli mean winding cobblestone streets, tight turns, and real runseeing legs. Corso Vittorio Emmanuele and Pedamentina San Martino give the Vomero district one of the rare long sidewalk runs. Bosco di Capodimonte gives over 3 miles of forested paths and gardens. RunChallenge meets Sundays from 10:30 to 11:45 at the Bagnoli jetty and Wednesdays from 17:00 to 18:15 at Maradona Stadium. Naples Marathon, VI^ Neapolis Half Marathon, and Vesuvio Ultra Marathon anchor the calendar.

Locals ride the seafront for an easy Z2 day and point the bike east when the workout needs teeth. Mount Vesuvius holds the obvious climbing, while the Phlegraean Fields pull gravel legs west toward Pozzuoli and Baia. Posillipo Loop works for a quick spin, and Amalfi Coast or Comune di Sorrento turn base miles into a proper day. Comune di Sorrento, Campania gives riders 73 km with 1,214 m of elevation. The Vesuvio climb is 8 km with 1,383 m of elevation. Vesuvio Gravel brings the big anchor-event energy for gravel and MTB. Naples Velo brings led rides 7 days a week.

Spring and autumn give runners and cyclists the cleanest training rhythm in Naples. Summer brings high temperatures and humidity, so locals start early, keep intervals short, and use the Lungomare before the day gets heavy. July and August have the highest sea temperatures, but the best training still happens before the heat settles in. Winter keeps the city moving, because southern Italian winter is far milder than most of Europe. Snow stays rare in the city area, while Mount Vesuvius gets it more often. Road riders keep base miles alive, and runners can still use parks, seafront, and city routes.
