to 13 September 2026 Run under the towers

The event, which is non-competitive and a recreational motor event, is open to all

Triangolo Sport Langhe Monferrato Roero A.S.D. is organizing the new edition of the running event “Corri sotto le torri” in Alba.

The event, non-competitive and recreational in nature, is open to everyone, provided they have medical clearance.

The popular and well-attended running event in the city of Alba has been part of the official Truffle Fair program since its first edition in 2008.

There is a preview for children on a short route and then the start on a beautiful course through the heart of the city and along its tree-lined avenues, 8 km long (and a reduced 4 km option).

The finish line, as tradition dictates, is in the heart of the city, in Piazza del Duomo, where participants are celebrated, refreshments are served, and everyone celebrates with music.
