Spring 2024 marks the return of PolimiRun, a highly anticipated running event that invites participants to lace up their sneakers and experience Milan from a unique perspective. Organized by the Politecnico di Milano, the run brings together students, staff, alumni, and running enthusiasts for a vibrant and dynamic experience through the heart of Milan. PolimiRun is more than just a race; it’s an opportunity for participants to immerse themselves in the beauty of Milan’s urban landscape while promoting wellness, inclusivity, and community spirit.

The race, which spans various distances, is designed to accommodate runners of all levels. From seasoned marathoners to casual joggers, the event is open to anyone with a passion for running and a desire to be part of something larger. What makes PolimiRun special is its integration into Milan’s iconic neighborhoods, offering participants the chance to run past famous landmarks, beautiful parks, and historic districts.

Starting at the Bovisa Campus and finishing at the Leonardo Campus, the route allowed participants to cross some of Milan’s most emblematic urban areas. Runners traversed a scenic course filled with vibrant city streets, modern architecture, and moments of greenery — a physical and symbolic connection between two of the university’s main campuses.

While the run itself is undoubtedly the focal point, PolimiRun also aligns with broader goals of promoting health and fitness, sustainability, and the spirit of camaraderie within the Polimi community. As an event organized by a prestigious academic institution, it showcases the institution’s commitment not only to academic excellence but also to fostering a well-rounded, active lifestyle among its students and faculty.

Adding to the festive energy of the day was the presence of RDS 100% Grandi Successi, the official media partner of the event. RDS animated the pre-run warm-ups and post-race celebrations with live music, interviews, and entertainment, creating a lively village atmosphere that welcomed not only runners but also families, friends, and fans. The collaboration added visibility and excitement, making the event feel like a citywide celebration of movement, wellness, and connection.
