Indeed the entire proceeds of the event will be donated to the IEO-MONZINO Foundation in support of Monzino's scientific research.

"Sport is a pillar of cardiovascular prevention. Even the most recent studies – declares the Professor Giulio Pompilio, Scientific Director of the Monzino Cardiology Center – “continue to confirm that those who practice physical activity regularly have a reduction of up to 40% in the risk of developing heart problems compared to sedentary people. And in particular, running is important for heart health, because it allows you to enhance a series of cardiac functions and promotes the body's production of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant substances." You can sign up here until September 14th and you can participate with a donation starting from 10 euros. The race bags can be collected on the morning of the race at the Indro Montanelli Gardens.

There will be no shortage of entertainment on race day thanks to Nicoletta De Ponti and Angelo Baiguini, among the most well-known voices of RTL 102.5, who will liven up the stage at the Indro Montanelli Gardens; will be Paolo Marcandelli, professional break dancer (and ex-patient of Monzino) to warm up the Monzino Run participants before the race and let them go wild in group dances at the end of the race.
