    MAPS AND
    CULTURAL DESTINATIONS

    START TIME 9:15 AM
    VIALE LINCOLN – PIAZZA VITTORIO VENETO
    FLORENCE

    Participants in the event can choose between two new routes with varying levels of difficulty: one approximately 13 km long and a second route of about 6 km, which features a series of cultural stops. These routes wind through new landscapes and breathtaking views designed to showcase the unique beauty of Florence (and beyond!)

    Additionally, as per tradition, participants will have the opportunity to visit certain exhibitions and museums for free by wearing the CORRI LA VITA 2026 t-shirt, showing a donation receipt of at least 10 euros, or presenting their registration certificate. This is a way to combine culture, sports, and solidarity, which has always been a hallmark of the initiative.

    To participate, pick up or order your t-shirt and then register online!

    This year, at the entrance checkpoints, participants will receive emotional bibs*, featuring a special section where you can write a dedication, the name of a person, or the emotions that motivate you to join the race.
