The race

Run For Life reaches its twelfth edition on Sunday 7 March 2027 at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza. The event is tied to International Women's Day and promotes respect as the basis for civil coexistence between men and women. It is organised by Run For Life SSD with Social Time Odv, I Gamber de Cuncuress and ASD Silvia Tremolada; proceeds, net of costs, go to replanting an area of the Monza Park, where more than 30 tall trees have already been planted along the viale Mirabellino.

The start is at 9:00 on the green light of the circuit's starting lights, and the course winds between the new track, the old track and the Monza Park. On the programme are the competitive half marathon, also open in a tourist formula to non-resident foreigners, and the competitive 10 km, both certified and in the FIDAL national calendar, plus non-competitive 10 km and 5 km runs.

Fees rise by date: €30 to €45 for the half, €20 to €30 for the 10 km races and €15 for the 5 km. Bibs are collected at the Expo Village in Paddock 1 of the circuit; spectators watch from grandstands 18, 19, 20 and 23.

Course

Start at 9:00 at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza, on the green light of the iconic starting lights; the non-competitive races start right after (at 9:15 according to the rules). The course winds between the new track, the old track and the Monza Park. The 10 km and 21.097 km distances are certified.

There are intermediate aid stations and a refreshment point in the finish area. The 2027 course maps have not been published yet.
