Training plans for famous Italian running races
TERUN doesn't build a separate plan per race — it builds one sized to the distance, paced from your own running data, and periodized to your start date.
Whether it's Stramilano, a Vivicittà edition in your city or a marathon-weekend support race, the training principle is the same: pick the plan for your race's distance below, and TERUN fills in the paces, the build-up and the taper from your current fitness.
10K
- Stramilano — Milan, March, over 60,000 runners across all distances, Italy's best-known street race.
- Vivicittà — a nationwide UISP event, the same 10K run simultaneously in 34+ Italian cities.
- San Silvestro — run in multiple cities (including Rome, Naples and Bologna) on December 31, 5K/10K.
- Stracittadina di Bologna — Bologna.
- RomaOstia — a 21K race with a 10K variant.
- Corriamo Insieme a Roma — Rome.
- Strarunning Roma — Rome.
- Vivicittà Napoli — the Naples edition of Vivicittà.
- Vivicittà Torino — the Turin edition of Vivicittà.
- Deejay Ten — Milan, a radio-branded public 10K.
- Stracasoria — Casoria, a regionally well-known race.
- Giro Media Blenio — a cross-border regional race.
- Corsa dei Santi — Rome, early November.
- 10K Genova — Genoa.
- Bologna Business Run — Bologna.
- Trofeo Alberto Nulli — a regionally well-known race.
- Stratorino / Torino 10K — Turin.
The 10K training plan is built for exactly this: short and intense, with paces that have to be right.
5K
- Stramilanina — Milan, the 5K companion race run alongside Stramilano.
- San Silvestro (5K option) — multiple cities, December 31.
This is a straight match for the adaptive training plan — there's no separate 5K page, so set 5K as your goal distance there.
