So that even the little ones can enjoy the race, we also organize a dm bambini run. The run is completely free and each participant will receive a t-shirt, starting number and medal at the finish line.

The Bambini Run will be divided into three categories according to the age of the competitors. The race will have a limited number of registrations, so don’t hesitate, because there is a lot of interest in the race!
