RunChallenge

Running, Walking, Rolling… for all!

RunChallenge is a social and sports project that offers running and walking training sessions open to everyone, with a special focus on those experiencing vulnerability.

Among the participants are individuals with intellectual, sensory and physical disabilities, people from migrant backgrounds, families facing economic hardship, starter and amateur athletes.

Milan Marathon is our main event of the year: last year, we joined with over 1,000 participants, including marathoners, relay runners, volunteers and supporters who made our RC> Cheering Point the best one of the entire marathon. And for the 2026 edition, we’ve been named Charity of the Year for the Milan Marathon!

The project is active in 12 cities: Milan, Berlin, Helsinki, Madrid, Bratislava, Thessaloniki, Bologna, Cagliari, Parma, Naples, San Benedetto del Tronto and Verona.

During the 2024/25 season, more than 850 people took part in the weekly training sessions, 297 of whom were in vulnerable situations.

Our dream is to reach people all over the world, so more and more individuals can get fit, have fun and meet new friends.

And you? Will you help us reach this goal?

All the funds you help us raise at the Milan Marathon will cover the costs of the event and ensure:

– Weekly running and walking training sessions led by qualified coaches and educators, where everyone can go at their own pace;
– Educational support for athletes with disabilities;
– Social events beyond sports, especially for participants with disabilities, such as: trips to other RC> Points, solidarity happy hours, recreational activities, and running events;
– Job opportunities within the project staff for people in vulnerable conditions.

Join RunChallenge and celebrate with us the most exciting day of the year at the Milano Marathon 2026!
