The race
The Corri alla Garbatella is the race of Rome's Garbatella district, first held in 1986: the 32nd edition takes place on Sunday 22 November 2026, with start and meeting point at Viale Guglielmo Massaia 31, in Municipio VIII. At 9:00 children up to age 10 run «Corri forte, Cresci bene», about 650 metres and free of charge; at 9:30 the competitive 9.8 km race starts together with the non-competitive event, at your own pace, over 9.8 or 4.9 km.
The route winds through the district's historic streets over several laps. The event is organised by the Associazione Culturale e Sportiva Rione Garbatella with ASD ACSI Futuratletica, under the aegis of FIDAL. Entry costs €15 until 10 November and €20 until 17 November, capped at 1,000 participants, and includes timing, refreshments, bag drop, Red Cross medical cover and a gadget.
It is a neighbourhood celebration combining sport and solidarity: donations from the children's race go to the charities Amare l'India and CMV Amici Giovanni Nigro.
