Corri la Vita 2025

Sunday 28 September a day of sports and free visits to art venues throughout the city

On Sunday, September 28, Florence is set to welcome over 38,000 participants for the twenty-third edition of Corri la Vita, the event that combines sport, culture, and solidarity with the goal of supporting fundraising initiatives for projects dedicated to breast cancer care.

Founded in 2003, Corri la Vita’s main mission is to support women affected by breast cancer, funding projects related to prevention, early diagnosis, treatment, assistance, and psychological support. Since its inception, more than 540,000 participants have taken part in the event, raising and donating over €9.3 million and providing assistance to over 500,000 women in the fight against breast cancer.

Organized in collaboration with LILT Firenze and Firenze Marathon, Corri la Vita has become a historic event for the city, successfully combining physical activity, entertainment, and social engagement.

Corri la Vita

On the morning of September 28, a stage will be set up along the Arno River, in the Viale Lincoln area at Parco delle Cascine, to officially kick off the event at 9:15 AM. After the start, friends and event ambassadors will move to Piazza della Signoria, the symbolic finish line for the runners.

The event will be hosted by Eva Edili, the long-time presenter of Corri la Vita, accompanied by notable guests including: Paolo Vallesi; Dolcenera and Gigi Campanile (the Complici from Pechino Express); Luisa Corna; Giulia Mazzoni; Matteo Restivo and Lorenzo Zazzeri; Gianmaria Vassallo.

At 12:00 PM, the performance “Scorrere” by Virgilio Sieni, in collaboration with the Florence Dragon Lady LILT, will take place, starting from the Canottieri di Ponte Vecchio and finishing at the Ponte alla Carraia.
