The Nove Colli Running is a 202 km foot race, made of suffering and great satisfaction. This is how this now traditional sporting event is described, which will take place for its 25th edition on Saturday 9 and Sunday 10 May 2026, with start and finish in Cesenatico.
The route
The route follows that of the historic Nove Colli, but in this version, the 202 km are tackled on foot, making the race a true sporting feat. The meeting point is set for 10:00 AM at the Museo della Marineria for the briefing and the mayor's greeting, while the start is scheduled for 12:00 PM.
The feat must be completed within 30 hours. Athletes who complete the race will cross the finish line the following morning on Viale Carducci, near Zona Cesarini.
