The Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Running Festival continues to grow. Four months ahead of the December event, registrations have already surpassed 4,300, confirming a further upward trend compared with previous editions.
Once again, the event’s strong international appeal stands out: international participants now account for around two-thirds of the total, and their number has already exceeded the final figure recorded in the 2025 edition, with more than 60 nationalities represented from over 50 countries across all continents. Female participation is also particularly strong, at close to 60%.
All available race bibs for the 10Km Bollicina and 21Km Half Marathon have already sold out, while registrations remain open for the42Km Marathon and 51Km Ultra Trail.
RUNNING AND… TIRAMISÙ
As the numbers keep running, the programme of side events accompanying the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Running Festival weekend is also taking shape.
One of this year’s new highlights will be a collaboration that is sure to be delicious with Tiramisù World Cup, bringing one of the best-known symbols of Italian culinary tradition to the Festival.
The programme will feature two Tiramisù Cooking Classes, one in Italian and one in English, but above all an absolute first: the first national-team Tiramisù competition, where participants from different countries will represent their nations and go head-to-head in preparing the iconic Italian dessert.
The initiative fits perfectly with the Festival’s growing international spirit and its desire to turn the December weekend into something that goes beyond running: an opportunity to discover the region through its excellence, flavours and shared experiences. A challenge within the challenge, this time without running shoes but with an apron on and plenty of “hunger” for victory.
Participation details, rules and registration procedures for both the competition and the Cooking Classes will be revealed in September.
The appointment is in December in the Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene: on the roads and trails, the challenge will be measured in kilometres, but this year there will also be a challenge fought with ladyfingers, coffee and mascarpone.
