Vivicittà 2026: running and walking for peace, inclusion and the environment

On Sunday, April 12, 2026 Vivicittà returns, a Uisp event that brings thousands of people to streets, parks and squares in more than 40 Italian cities and 7 locations abroad to promote sport, environment and social cohesion. The simultaneous start is scheduled for 9:30 AM, with the official start broadcast live on Rai Radio 1.

The event combines competitive and non-competitive formats: in 23 cities there is a 10 km competitive race with a unified compensated ranking calculated by the CONI Institute of Sports Science, while many towns host 3–4 km recreational walks for families and schools.

Vivicittà emphasizes inclusion and sustainability: the format links historic centers, urban parks and institutions (with prologues even in prisons), and includes local environmental awareness actions and large-scale community participation.

Practical information

  • Time: simultaneous start at 9:30 AM (12/04/2026). Local meeting points and pre-race activities may be scheduled earlier.
  • Routes: 10 km competitive races in many cities; 3–4 km non-competitive walks. Some courses follow waterfronts, parks or historic centers.
  • Special rankings: awards for the largest groups and a dedicated ranking for journalists.
  • Core values: accessibility, inclusion, environmental sustainability and promotion of grassroots sport.
  • Tips: check the local organizer for meeting points and registration, carry water, wear appropriate clothing and follow directions from event staff.

Sample locations and routes

Participating locations include: Pescara (Piazza della Rinascita), Matera (intercultural-themed event), Palermo (Vito Schifani stadium and La Favorita nature reserve), Bolzano (Piazza Tribunale), Latina (historic center), Parma (Ducal Palace area), Reggio Emilia (Piazza della Vittoria), La Spezia, Ancona, Livorno, Civitavecchia, Calimera, Piacenza, Arezzo, Caserta, Gorizia, Bra and Pordenone.
