The Italian Running Festival is a major event dedicated to the world of running and the outdoors, bringing together runners, sports enthusiasts, outdoor activity lovers, brands, and industry professionals.

The 2026 edition will take place on October 24 and 25 at the Idroscalo in Milan, in a natural setting just outside the city.
The festival offers a rich program of workshops, talks, sports activities, product tests, community runs, and in-depth sessions dedicated to both road running and trail running.
Ample space is dedicated to outreach, with meetings, testimonials, films, and content focused on running, training, and sports culture.
There is no shortage of races and group experiences, designed to engage runners of all levels and encourage community participation.
The atmosphere is informal and friendly, with live music, DJ sets, and food areas complementing the sporting activities.
The festival thus also becomes a place for gathering and socializing, where participants can share their passions, meet other runners, and connect with experts and industry professionals.
The Idroscalo location also allows attendees to enjoy the sport in a large green space, easily accessible from Milan and ideal for various outdoor activities.
An event that views running not just as a sport, but as an experience, a community, and a lifestyle, combining sports, nature, discovery, and entertainment.
