6 Ore di Roma 2026

6 Ore di Roma is a six-hour road running race in Rome, held inside the archaeological park of Villa De Sanctis. It starts at 11:00 at night, so runners spend the race circling through the park in the dark instead of chasing a normal point-to-point finish. The event is run by Atletica Villa De Sanctis and appears as the Memorial Massimo Di Florido. The format is simple: cover as much distance as possible before the six hours are up. Entries are capped, with registration handled online through ENDU, and the race is linked to FISPES as well as the club's own social ranking. The organizers also connect the event with Fondazione Giorgio Castelli ETS, a foundation working against cardiac arrest, giving the race a small but clear community purpose beyond the laps themselves.
