AlbaRun begins before sunrise in Senigallia. Runners and walkers gather at XMASTERS Village on Lungomare Mameli while the town is still waking up. This is a non-competitive morning event. The main option is a 10 km run, with a 5 km walk available for those preferring a slower pace. All participants start together at dawn and are expected to finish around breakfast time.
The route follows the Adriatic coast, utilizing the seafront and town centre streets before shops open. Friends often run together, dogs are permitted, and the atmosphere is that of a shared outing rather than competitive pressure. AlbaRun is part of the larger XMasters program in Senigallia, which includes triathlon and cross-training events. It also offers a 4 km dawn SUP outing from XMASTERS Village, circumnavigating the port before returning for breakfast.
