On Saturday 18 July 2026, at 7.00 pm, the Beach Run returns – the sporting event that combines the joy of running with the beauty of the sea at Bellaria Igea Marina.

The start and meeting point will be at the Polo Est Village, from where an exciting race will set off along a route that winds through the town’s streets and along the beach, offering participants a unique experience combining urban scenery, sand and a summer atmosphere.

The event is designed to involve not only competitive athletes, but also families, children and anyone wishing to take part in a more relaxed way, walking or running in company. For this reason, two routes have been organised for the public: a walk of approximately 6 km and a Family Run of approximately 3.5 km, both shorter than the competitive race route, so that everyone can enjoy this experience at their own pace.

Registration for the walk and the Family Run will take place on the day of the event at the meeting point at Polo Est Village, with a participation fee of 3 euros.

At the end of the run, all participants will be able to celebrate their finish with a small refreshment stand for athletes. It’s an opportunity to spend an evening dedicated to sport, wellbeing and socialising, immersed in the splendid summer setting of Bellaria Igea Marina.
