The race

The Lago d'Orta Night Run is the night race around Lake Orta organised by ASD Circuito Running and ASD Lago d'Orta Sports & Events. The 2027 edition takes place on Saturday 22 May.

There are two non-competitive FIDAL and ACSI distances: the 15.5 km starts from Piazzale Prarondo in Orta San Giulio, the 7 km from the Lido di Gozzano. Both start at 21:15; the 15.5 km finishes in Piazza Motta in Pella.

The race is run in the dark, with a head torch or hand torch compulsory. The meeting point is in Pella from 17:00: from there, boats take runners to the starts.

In 2026 the race returned after seven years with almost 900 runners, 600 on the 15.5 km and around 300 on the 7 km.

Course

Both races are point to point. The 15.5 km starts from Piazzale Prarondo in Orta San Giulio and finishes in Piazza Motta in Pella; the 7 km starts from the Lido di Gozzano.

You run in the evening on roads closed to traffic, starting at 21:15 with a time limit of 2 hours. A head torch or hand torch is compulsory.

Boats take you to the starts: for the 15.5 km they leave Pella from 20:00, for the 7 km there is a single trip of the Ortensia boat at 20:00.
