The Mugello GP Run 2026 concluded with more than 4,200 total participants across the competitive race and the non-competitive event, in a day that successfully combined emotion, participation, and strong institutional presence.

The winter sun shone over one of the symbolic venues of Italian sport, the Mugello Circuit, which once again chose to open its gates to “lived” sport, transforming the track and paddock into a space for meeting, sharing, and movement. A gesture of great value that confirms the circuit’s role not only as an international motorsport excellence, but also as a place capable of welcoming people, stories, and communities.

From the early hours of the morning, the track came alive with hundreds of athletes in the competitive race, alongside countless walkers and non-competitive participants, including families, arriving from all over Italy and also from abroad. A continuous flow of steps, smiles, and energy turned the Mugello GP Run into a true celebration of sport, open to everyone.

Alongside the sporting aspect, the event strongly reaffirmed its commitment to core values. Particularly meaningful was the moment dedicated to the themes of bullying and listening, featuring the contribution of Asia Antonietti, founder of the project Dream as You Did When You Were a Child. Her authentic and heartfelt testimony highlighted how sport can become a concrete tool for education, awareness, and personal renewal.

Equally essential was the contribution of the partners who chose to support the event not only as sponsors, but as true allies sharing the same vision.
Barberino Outlet provided gift cards, offering participants real shopping experiences within the outlet, while Poggio del Farro supplied all race packs, contributing in a tangible way to the quality and care of the experience reserved for athletes and walkers.
Special thanks also go to Radio Toscana, the official media partner and voice of the Mugello GP Run, which accompanied and narrated the event, strengthening its identity and outreach throughout the territory.

Mugello GP Run 2026 thus comes to a close as a full, bright, and widely attended day, leaving its mark not only on the asphalt, but above all on the people involved. An event that confirms the value of the collaboration with Mugello Circuit and looks to the future with the goal of continuing to build, step by step, an initiative in which sport, territory, and community grow together.

The Mugello GP Run marked the opening of the 2026 sporting season, confirming itself as an athletics event that has now become a true tradition.
A total of 4,261 participants, divided among the competitive race, the non-competitive race, and the event reserved for children and young athletes, lined up at the start of the thirteenth edition of the Mugello GP Run.

The number of registered runners represented an all-time record for this event. The race started with the green traffic light, just as in car and motorcycle races. After two laps of the circuit, the winners were Marco Zanni from Romagna (ASD Team Misano) in 33’04’’ in the men’s race, and Chiara Eleonora Turrini from Modena (S.S. La Guglia Sassuolo) in 40’27’’ in the women’s race.

Alongside the competitive race, a one-lap non-competitive event was also held, attracting entire families, as well as the Kids race, dedicated to children and young runners. This event took place along the main straight of the circuit, allowing even the youngest athletes to experience the thrill of crossing the Mugello finish line, just like their MotoGP idols.

Total attendance at the circuit exceeded 10,000 visitors.

Mugello Circuit reaffirms its commitment to sustainability with the publication of the 2024 ISO 20121 Sustainability Report, a document that transparently presents the goals set and the results achieved in efforts to improve the Circuit’s environmental, social, ethical, and economic impact.

Drafted in June 2025, the report is addressed to all stakeholders involved in the project and serves as an important communication tool within the Circuit’s Integrated Management System, which includes the following certifications: ISO 14001 (Environment), ISO 45001 (Health and Safety), ISO 9001 (Quality), EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme), and ISO 20121 (Sustainable Event Management).

First Place in the Sustainable Circuits Index™

For the second consecutive year, Mugello has ranked 1st in the Sustainable Circuits Index™ (SCI™), which assesses the sustainability performance of 96 of the world’s leading racing circuits, confirming its position as the most sustainable circuit globally.

New Certifications and Projects for 2024

Among the most significant results achieved in 2024:

• Achievement of the UNI/PdR 125:2022 certification on gender equality (December 15, 2024), recognizing the Circuit’s concrete commitment to inclusion and the reduction of the gender gap.

• Launch of a beekeeping project in collaboration with Azienda Agricola Le Pecchie, involving the installation of five beehives in the Circuit’s green area to support biodiversity and local flora, hosting up to 450,000 bees during the peak season.

The 2024 Sustainability Report reaffirms Mugello Circuit’s determination to continue advancing toward an increasingly sustainable and responsible management of its operations.

“The protection of the environment, the desire to generate a positive social impact, and our ongoing commitment to improving environmental performance have always been core elements of our identity, inspiring every aspect of our daily work,” said Paolo Poli, CEO of Mugello Circuit.
“This journey began in 2009 with the achievement of our ISO 14001 Environmental Management certification, which has driven us over time to set increasingly ambitious goals. Being the first circuit in the world to receive the FIA Environmental Accreditation – 3 Stars, to achieve ISO 20121 Sustainable Event Management certification, and to be ranked first in the Sustainable Circuits Index in both 2023 and 2024 as the most sustainable circuit internationally, is a source of great pride for us.
At the same time, we recognize that each milestone represents a new starting point toward even higher goals. For Mugello Circuit, sustainability is not merely an option—it is a concrete social responsibility aimed at creating shared value and benefits.”

Grande attesa per la gara internazionale di ciclocross all’Autodromo del Mugello

Sono oltre 400 gli iscritti al 5° Trofeo Città di Firenze, prestigiosa gara internazionale di ciclocross in programma sabato 1° novembre. Per il terzo anno consecutivo, l’evento si svolgerà all’interno del celebre Autodromo del Mugello (ingresso dal Palagio).

La manifestazione è organizzata dalla APD Virtus Settimo Miglio, con il fondamentale supporto del Mugello Circuit, che tre anni fa ha creduto in questo progetto, contribuendo in modo decisivo alla sua crescita dal punto di vista organizzativo e logistico.

L’evento gode del Patrocinio della Regione Toscana, del Comune di Firenze e del Comune di Scarperia e San Piero.
