Rome Awakens Running:
the Ottobrata Monticiana Running Tour
sunday, Oct. 12nd 2025 - 7AM

There’s a magical moment in Rome, when the sun has just begun to light up the cobblestones and the monuments slowly awaken, before the city slips into its usual frenzy. That’s exactly where our adventure begins.
Sunday October 12, 7AMwe’ll gather in Piazza Madonna dei Montithe beating heart of the neighborhood, to set off with Rome by Run on a special journey: a 5 km running tour filled with history, emotions, and breathtaking views.
You don’t need to be a marathoner—just a desire to experience Rome in a different way. No one will be left behind: we’ll run together, step by step, soaking in the timeless beauty of the Imperial Fora, the majesty of the Colosseum, and the vastness of the Circus Maximus. We’ll climb up to the Tarpeian Rock, cross the Capitoline Hill and finally return to our starting point, our hearts brimming with energy.
Meanwhile, photographers will capture our smiles and the city’s most stunning corners, and each of us will receive a tangible keepsake of this experience: an exclusive buff, the symbol of a sunrise shared.
But the morning doesn’t end there. After the run, conviviality awaits: a breakfast at the Bar in the piazza, chatting with short breath and wide eyes still full of wonder. And for those who wish, there will be the chance to make a generous gesture: to donate blood at the mobile donation unit set up in the square, contributing to a cause that goes beyond our path together.
A different kind of dawn, an experience blending sport, friendship, solidarity, and love for Rome.
Sunday, October 12th, 7:00 AM – Piazza Madonna dei Monti.
A 5 km running tour, suitable for everyone.
