The best way to get in shape? Easy: go running, maybe with a goal in mind.
A goal like the Stracittadine, the non-competitive races of 1, 5 and 10 kilometers, all starting and finishing in Prato della Valle.
Everyone, regardless of their level of preparation, can spend a day with their family, doing something different, enjoying the river banks and the centre of Padua without cars and living the atmosphere of celebration that has always accompanied the event.

Stracittadine are the non-competitive races that every year involve thousands of enthusiasts, tourists, families and children who, on the occasion of the Padova Marathon, fill the streets of the historic center and the river banks of the city to spend a few hours outdoors. An additional alternative for those who accompany marathon runners in Padova and want to spend their time healthily, while waiting for their friends or family.
There are three race courses of the Stracittadine. Three opportunities meet the needs of everyone: the 1 km walk, firstly created to address the elderly and people with disabilities; the 5 km run, which is generally the most participated; and finally the 10 km race for the most trained who are not ready to try the competitive races yet but may be preparing for them.
