Corri la Vita in Florence is one of the city’s most loved and widely attended events. Every year, thousands of people come together for a day that combines sport, solidarity, culture and prevention. It crosses some of the most beautiful places in the Tuscan capital. The 2026 edition will take place on Sunday 27 September, starting from the Cascine Park and finishing in Piazza della Signoria, in the heart of the historic centre.
For those coming from outside the city, taking part in Corri la Vita can become the ideal opportunity to organise a stay in Florence, experiencing both the energy of the event and the beauty of the city.
What is Corri la Vita?
Corri la Vita was founded in 2003 with a clear goal: to support women affected by breast cancer and fund projects dedicated to prevention, early diagnosis and treatment. Over time, the event has become a symbol of Florence and one of the most recognisable charity initiatives in the area.
Its strength lies in its ability to involve many different people: runners, walkers, families, residents, visitors, volunteers and cultural organisations. It is not just a race, but a collective day in which movement becomes a concrete act of participation. In over twenty years, the project has raised significant funds and involved hundreds of thousands of participants, helping to support centres, services and activities connected to women’s health.
The 2026 route between the Cascine and the historic centre
The 2026 edition of Corri la Vita in Florence features a particularly evocative route. It’s designed to cross the city from the green spaces of the Cascine to the monumental heart of the historic centre. The starting point is scheduled for Viale Lincoln, inside the Cascine Park, one of the largest and most popular green areas in Florence.
The finish line will be in Piazza della Signoria, at the Loggia dei Lanzi, one of the city’s most iconic locations. This makes the experience even more special: participants can experience Florence in motion, moving from a natural, open setting to a unique historic backdrop, surrounded by Palazzo Vecchio, the statues of the Loggia and the most representative streets of the centre.
