Set your sights on a village like no other: in Filadelfia, in the heart of the hills of Vibo Valentia in Calabria, the Trofeo Podistico delle 4 Chiese turns the historic center into a playground 🏃. Two options await you: a timed 10km for licensed runners, or an open fun run for everyone aged 15 and up—a great gateway into road running.
What makes the event unique is its guiding thread: the route links the four churches lined up along the city’s main axis, remnants of the grid plan drawn up after the 1783 earthquake. A deeply Culture & History 🏛️ and In the city race, doubled as a true village celebration.

Nearby, Tyrrhenian Calabria unfolds its treasures: the beaches of Pizzo and its famous tartufo gelato, the Monte Poro plateau and its cheeses. Plenty to extend your stride with a delicious gourmet interlude.
In short, a human-scale race that you run as much with your legs as with your heart 😊.
