Stramilano: Run in the Heart of Milan!
You know, in Milan we sometimes like to exaggerate with words, yes, use hyperbolic phrases. The name Stra-Milano says just that: it is a hyperbole that helps make it clear that it is a mega crowd bath, for everyone and all ages. Young people, adults, families, the ‘agées’, the differently abled. It is a celebration of the whole city and should be taken as such.
The Stramilano is the iconic footrace that has made the heart of Milan vibrate for decades! It is no coincidence that this fantastic competition, established in 1972, has criss-crossed the streets of the city of Milan offering excitement, passion and sport to all those who have participated or watched as spectators. Once you’ve seen it once, you never forget it and can’t wait for the following year to see this river of festive people running through the streets again.
The Stramilano is traditionally held on the first weekend of spring, providing a unique atmosphere in which the awakening of nature combines with the vibrancy of the centre of Milan. The event is divided into two separate competitions: the Stramilano Agonistica, reserved for professional runners, and the Stramilano of 50.000 people, open to all those who wish to participate for the pure pleasure of running.
Here is some useful information for anyone who wants to participate or simply enjoy the show
Registration
To run in the 50,000 Stramilano, you must register on the event’s official website. Professional athletes wishing to participate in the Stramilano Agonistica must meet certain requirements and follow the specific registration procedure.
The route (see below) passes through the most striking places in Milan. Each year it varies, but has always favoured the city’s most beautiful destinations, including the Castello Sforzesco, the modern CityLife and the iconic Piazza Gae Aulenti. Get ready to immerse yourself in the history and architecture of this fascinating city as you run side by side with thousands of other fans.
Support and assistance
Along the route you will find refreshment points, medical assistance and moral support from enthusiastic volunteers and spectators. Don’t hesitate to ask for help if you need it.
Fun for all
The Stramilano is an event for everyone, from experienced runners to amateurs, families and children. Even if you don’t run, you can enjoy live performances, activities for children and the contagious energy that pervades the city.
Respect for the environment
The Stramilano promotes sustainability and respect for the environment, encouraging participants to use environmentally friendly means of transport and to reduce the use of single-use plastic.

Stramilano 2025 – All Info
What is the Stramilano?
The Stramilano is both a competitive and an amateur running race. Since it takes place over three routes of your choice, the first two routes, the 5 km and the 10 km, are suitable for amateurs, enthusiasts and the curious. The long half-marathon route is more suitable for trained people and real athletes.
“The Stramilano is a sporting event that, especially in recent years, always involves and gets people to participate with great enthusiasm,” commented Mayor Giuseppe Sala. “It’s great to be celebrating 50 years and 50 editions of this extraordinary race today, which over time has become a real point of reference for both professional and amateur runners and families”.
How many kilometres is the Stramilano?
The Stramilano 2025 will take place on Sunday March 23rd 2025 with three different routes, the 5 km (known as the Stramilanina, for the little ones), the 10 km (for everyone and all ages) and the half marathon (for professionals and enthusiasts).

The half marathon
Here is the route of the half marathon: starting from Piazza Castello in the direction of Corso Sempione (turnaround).

A similar route up to Piazza Conciliazione, when it will deviate to Via Guido D’Arezzo to touch down in the Fiera area between Piazza Buonarroti, Via Monterosa, Piazza Giulio Cesare, Viale Duilio to then return to Corso Sempione and aim for the finish in Piazza Castello.
