First held in 1912 and linked to the celebrations of the Feast of Saint Anne, patron saint of the Madonie village, the event is a historic occasion that brings together sport, tradition and local identity.<\/p>\n<p>Considered by many to be the oldest road race in Europe still in existence, the <strong>Running Race<\/strong> takes place along a picturesque circuit in the heart of <strong>Castelbuono<\/strong>\u2019s historic centre. The race starts and finishes in <em>Piazza Margherita<\/em>, passing through some of the town\u2019s most characteristic streets and squares, including Via Roma, Piazza San Francesco, Via Cavour, Piazza Matteotti and Corso Umberto I.<\/p>\n<p>Throughout its long history, the competition has seen middle-distance and road running champions from all over the world compete against one another. From a local event, it has gradually become a major international fixture, establishing itself firmly on the calendar of leading road races and attracting top-level athletes.<\/p>\n<p>The 2026 edition holds particular significance as it marks the prestigious milestone of the 100th edition, paying tribute to a sporting tradition spanning over a century of history. The commemorative poster dedicated to the event recounts this journey through the symbol of the number 100, which encompasses the names of the winners and evokes the continuous movement of running, becoming a metaphor for the memory and continuity of an event deeply rooted in the Castelbuono community.<\/p>\n<p>More than just a sporting competition, the <strong>Castelbuono Running Race<\/strong> is an event that involves the entire village every year, transforming the streets of the historic centre into a stage for sport and passion, and reaffirming the strong bond between <strong>Castelbuono<\/strong> and one of its most iconic traditions.<\/p>\n","localizzazione":"<div class=\"leaflet-map\" data-height=\"400\" data-map=\"leaflet\" data-map-lng=\"14.095459\" data-map-lat=\"37.9355331\" data-map-zoom=\"7\" data-map-layers=\"[&quot;CartoDB.Voyager&quot;]\" data-map-markers=\"[{&quot;label&quot;:&quot;90013 Castelbuono, Sicilia Italia&quot;,&quot;default_label&quot;:&quot;90013 Castelbuono, Sicilia Italia&quot;,&quot;lat&quot;:37.931562999999997,&quot;lng&quot;:14.0989982,&quot;geocode&quot;:[{&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Castelbuono, Palermo, Sicilia, 90013, Italia&quot;,&quot;html&quot;:&quot;90013 Castelbuono, Sicilia Italia&quot;,&quot;bbox&quot;:{&quot;_southWest&quot;:{&quot;lat&quot;:37.874905400000003,&quot;lng&quot;:14.0427456},&quot;_northEast&quot;:{&quot;lat&quot;:37.987521299999997,&quot;lng&quot;:14.1567106}},&quot;center&quot;:{&quot;lat&quot;:37.931562999999997,&quot;lng&quot;:14.0989982},&quot;properties&quot;:{&quot;place_id&quot;:54076391,&quot;licence&quot;:&quot;Data \\u00a9 OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0. http:\\\/\\\/osm.org\\\/copyright&quot;,&quot;osm_type&quot;:&quot;relation&quot;,&quot;osm_id&quot;:39417,&quot;lat&quot;:&quot;37.9315630&quot;,&quot;lon&quot;:&quot;14.0989982&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;boundary&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;administrative&quot;,&quot;place_rank&quot;:16,&quot;importance&quot;:0.51559624633891765,&quot;addresstype&quot;:&quot;city&quot;,&quot;name&quot;:&quot;Castelbuono&quot;,&quot;display_name&quot;:&quot;Castelbuono, Palermo, Sicilia, 90013, Italia&quot;,&quot;address&quot;:{&quot;city&quot;:&quot;Castelbuono&quot;,&quot;county&quot;:&quot;Palermo&quot;,&quot;ISO3166-2-lvl6&quot;:&quot;IT-PA&quot;,&quot;state&quot;:&quot;Sicilia&quot;,&quot;ISO3166-2-lvl4&quot;:&quot;IT-82&quot;,&quot;postcode&quot;:&quot;90013&quot;,&quot;country&quot;:&quot;Italia&quot;,&quot;country_code&quot;:&quot;it&quot;,&quot;building&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;road&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;house_number&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;town&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;village&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;hamlet&quot;:&quot;&quot;},&quot;boundingbox&quot;:[37.874905400000003,37.987521299999997,14.0427456,14.1567106]}}],&quot;uuid&quot;:&quot;marker_6a2c02153f1a7&quot;}]\"><\/div>\n","email_organizzatore":"info@girodicastelbuono.com","pagina_social":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/GiroDiCastelbuono","url":"https:\/\/www.girodicastelbuono.com\/","dataora_fine":"26\/07\/2026 00:00","dataora_inizio":"26\/07\/2026 00:00"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
