Como Night Run

Como Night Run is a short, evening city race designed for runners who want something simpler, sharper, and more social than a big marathon weekend. The next edition is scheduled for Wednesday, 24 June 2026, with gathering from 19:00 and the start at about 20:00 in Via Caio Plinio Secondo, by Piazza Duomo, with the finish in the same central location. The event is part of the Run in Como calendar organized by Aries Como Athletic Team, and independent event listings describe it as a 5 km road race in Como. That combination makes it especially approachable for a wide range of participants: fast enough for runners who want to push the pace, but short and central enough for those looking for an enjoyable midweek race in the city.

What gives Como Night Run its appeal is the format rather than sheer scale. The organizers present it as the right occasion for people who enjoy short distances run at full effort and want to test themselves in a weekday evening atmosphere, which gives it a more relaxed and local character than a major destination race. For someone considering it for the first time, that is the real selling point: a compact 5K in the heart of Como, easy to understand, easy to fit into a trip or a work week, and built around the pleasure of running through the city at night rather than managing a long, complicated race day.
