Rome 21K - Ford Mustang Mach-E 2023

Running athletes from all over Italy and abroad are expected on Sunday, 19 November, at the starting line of the Rome 21k-Ford Mustang Mach-E tenth edition, the historic half-marathon that winds through the heart of Rome's most sporting district, the Villaggio Olimpico.

Particularly evocative, this year's route runs along the streets around the Olympic Village and the Acqua Acetosa area, PalaTiziano - Palazzetto dello Sport, and Stadio Flaminio, as well as the Historical Centre, passing through Via del Corso, Via del Babuino, Via del Tritone and Via del Teatro di Marcello.

Rome 21k-Ford Mustang Mach-E suits all tastes with the traditional distance of 21.097 km, for with more than 2,500 runners to participate, the 10 km, which awaits around 1,400 on a fast and flowing route that partly follows that of the half marathon, and the 10 km Fun, as always open to everyone.

Among the runners at the start, the Olympic swimming champion at Sydney 2000, Massimiliano Rosolino, today a beloved television face, star of programmes of the calibre of Ballando con le Stelle, Ambassador of Sport and Health, and a running neophyte who enthusiastically takes part in the famous competition through the streets of the most beautiful city in the world.

As with last year's edition, the Rome 21K-Ford Mustang Mach-E, at the behest of the Fidal Lazio, is valid for the awarding of the title of Fidal Lazio Regional Half Marathon Champion - Absolute (1, 2 and 3 M and F) and Category (Junior and Prospects M and F) and 10 km Regional Champion - Absolute (1, 2 and 3 M and F) and Category (Junior and Prospects M and F).

The start is at 8.30 a.m. for the half marathon. At 9.10 a.m. for participants in the 10 km and 10 km Fun. Both events start and finish in Viale della XVII Olimpiade, a stone's throw from the Auditorium Parco della Musica Ennio Morricone.

The Umberto Veronesi Foundation's Pink Ambassadors, women who have faced and overcome a female tumour (breast, uterus, ovary) and who train regularly as part of the Umberto Veronesi Foundation's 'Pink is Good' Project, take part in a reserved race that will be the final and conclusive stage of the 2023 edition. You can find a stand of the Foundation inside the Rome 21K Village where you can talk about prevention and contribute to fundraising in favour of scientific research on women's cancers.
