Run Rome The Marathon 2025

16 March 2025, the record-breaking 30th Rome Marathon: over 28,000 runners and the largest international turnout ever. Strongers was there with 20 teams, turning the run through the Capital into lung cancer research.

A TRIUMPH OF SPORT AND PASSION

A record-breaking edition that lit up the streets of the Capital! Thousands of runners, from marathoners to enthusiasts, made the 30th anniversary of the Rome Marathon unforgettable.

Running is a Sport for Everyone

From All Over Europe to Run with Strongers

This 30th edition of the Rome Marathon 2025 set a new participation record: over 28,000 runners took part in the marathon, more than 12,000 joined the Fun Run on Saturday, and most importantly, it saw the highest number of international participants ever.

 

It was also an incredible success for Strongers! We were honored to be represented by 20 relay teams, with 80 athletes from all over Europe.

Runners came from Belgium, Spain, Germany, France, and many regions of Italy—Naples, Rome, the Marche—spanning all ages, from 13-year-olds in the Fun Race to over 67-year-olds.

 

These numbers confirm one thing: running is truly a sport for all ages!

SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH

We ran together at Run Rome The Marathon 2025, turning every step into a concrete action for scientific research. But the challenge doesn’t stop here!

In 2024, thanks to the generosity of many, we funded three research grants of €2,900 each for young oncologists dedicated to fighting lung cancer.

For 2025, our goal is even more ambitious: to raise €12,000 to:✅ Award four young researchers with a €3,000 grant each✅ Support innovative projects on diagnosis, therapies, and prevention✅ Fund new scientific discoveries

Every donation makes a difference! Help us reach our goal and bring hope to research.

The Superhero Cactus!

Anyone who passed through the Circus Maximus village could not fail to notice our Super Erore Cactus wandering around celebrating among the stands, under the stage dancing and hugging little and big runners, visitors, families and celebrating with the other mascots.

 

It was a heart-opening event for all the children, who desperately wanted to take a photo, hug her, simply say hello, high-five.

 

We are proud of this success and we are also convinced that it will be difficult to forget us!
