Run the Run Rome The Marathon with Isla ng Bata

The Run Rome The Marathon is much more than a race: it’s an act of love, a shared step toward a better future.

With the RUN4ROME relay, running stops being just a personal challenge and transforms into a team experience, where every kilometer covered together has a value that goes beyond the finish line. Run with us, Sunday, March 22, 2026!

Walking or running together, sharing a smile, experiencing the city on a Saturday in early spring. This is the spirit that animates the 5km Fun Run, Saturday, March 21, 2026, in the heart of Rome.

Part of the registration fee for the Relay and Fun Run will be donated to the girls hosted at our Family Home in the Philippines, and the funds will be used to purchase food.

Running with Isla means running for their rights, for their smiles, for their tomorrow.

Step by step, with the girls of Isla ng Bata!

It’s an opportunity open to everyone—walkers, runners, and athletes of all levels—to experience a day of well-being, energy, and sharing, knowing that every step can truly make a difference.

The relay supports the projects of the Charity Program’s nonprofit organizations, like Isla ng Bata, which works every day to ensure protection, care, and hope for the most vulnerable children. Running with Isla means running for their rights, for their smiles, for their future.

You can participate with your friends by forming a team of four, or if you’re running alone, don’t worry: we’ll help you find a team. Because solidarity, just like running, is even more beautiful when done together.

To participate, simply fill out the pre-registration form. Our staff will then contact you, provide you with all the information, and register your team. If you don’t have a team, we’ll find one for you.

The 42 km route is divided among team members, each of whom will complete the 8 km of the shortest stage to the approximately 13 km of the longest, running or walking according to their abilities. Registration is open to to all people aged 16 years and over, but those aged 16 to under 18 may only complete the sections under 10 km. The registration fee for each participant is €50.

It will be wonderful to run among the splendid landscapes and monuments of Rome, an experience well worth experiencing as you walk through the capital’s oldest and most evocative streets.

The Fun Run is an opportunity accessible to everyone

In March, Rome fills with energy, smiles, and shared steps with the Fun Run, the capital’s most colorful and inclusive race. An event open to everyone—expert runners, families, groups of friends, children, and walkers—that passes through the heart of the city, transforming the streets into a true celebration of sport and participation.

But the Fun Run is much more than a race. It’s an opportunity to give even deeper meaning to every kilometer run by joining the charity program and running alongside Isla ng Bata, which for years has been committed to ensuring education, protection, and a future for the most vulnerable children in the Philippines. Participating with Isla ng Bata means transforming a day of sport and fun into a concrete gesture of solidarity: every step becomes a real help, every registration an investment in the smiles and opportunities of many children.
