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 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.

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.

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.
