Roma Appia Run

Run through 5 different terrains and take in sights of Imperial Rome on a 13km course. This unique event welcomes athletes and fans from all around the world to take part in the race, as well as some of the leading names from the world of middle-distance running. Over the past 21 years, you might have seen champions such as Giacomo Leone, Franca Fiacconi, and Maria Guida blaze a trail. In 2023, Italian Marathon record holder Iliass Aouani took the title.

During the race, be sure to keep an eye out for historical monuments such as the Baths of Caracalla, the Arch of Drusus, Porta San Sebastiano, the Mausoleum of Cecilia Metella, the Sacred Wood, the Nymphaeum of Egeria, and Quo Vadis. Rome has selected this event as its official running event, and nothing else will be scheduled during the weekend. So come join in and help us continue with our solidarity operations.
