This is the first-ever Italy Run to be held in London, and it aims to celebrate Italian Sports Day in the World. The event \u2013 organised by the Consulate General of Italy in London and featuring two icons of Italian sport, Gianfranco Zola and Roberto Di Matteo, as ambassadors \u2013 will take place on 22 September, following a 5 km route through Holland Park and the streets of Kensington. It will be open not only to running enthusiasts but also to beginners of all ages and nationalities.<\/p>\n
Thanks to the Italy Run\u2019s partner companies, prizes will be awarded to the winners of the three men\u2019s and women\u2019s categories: adults, over 65s, and juniors. The 1,000 participants will receive a kit including a blue shirt with the event\u2019s logo and the Italian flag: a striking blue wave<\/em> will thus sweep through Kensington, adding a touch of Italy\u2019s tricolour to the city\u2019s streets. At the race’s finish line, an Italy Village will be set up where event sponsors will showcase their products, offering an opportunity to promote Made in Italy and highlight some of Italy\u2019s finest offerings.<\/p>\n Organised in collaboration with the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, the Italy Run will also be an opportunity to do good. Proceeds from registration will be donated to two charities: the Eagle Foundation, which fights health poverty, and the Kensington-Chelsea Foundation, which supports social projects in London.<\/p>\n As part of the celebrations for Italian Sports Day in the World, the Italy Run will serve as a significant moment of unity for London\u2019s large Italian community, as well as an opportunity to promote the values of sport and solidarity by providing concrete support to charity projects.
