The event in a few words
Ever felt like a Formula 1 car? 🏎️ Here's your chance during the Monza21 race, held in the city sharing the same name, located in Lombardy in northern Italy 🇮🇹. This race features four different distances on the city's legendary circuit, where the Italian Grand Prix has been held annually since 1950 🏆. You'll discover that the home straight feels much longer in person than on TV! 😂 It's a road race that can be demanding, depending on your training level and gear. Thankfully, Monza21 takes place in September, so you can avoid the sweltering summer heat 🥵 of central Italy.
The organizers of the Monza21 race have planned four formats for a family-friendly event. You don't need to be a Lewis Hamilton of running to participate: whether you're a sprinter, a diesel engine, or a true hybrid, there's a distance for you. 🚦Four distances of 5 km, 10 km, 21 km, and 30 km are available 🫢. Four road races, and what roads they are! Naturally, the track is smooth and fast! 💨 And with speed comes... records! Yes, it's your chance to smash your personal bests on a course that makes you feel like a racing car! ⏱ But be careful not to burn out too quickly! 🥵 The pit stops (refueling for humans) are strategically placed for you to recharge your batteries. A splash of water 💧, an energy gel ⚡️, and off you go like a race car after a quick pit stop ⛽.
Beyond the opportunity to experience the iconic Monza circuit in a unique way, this race is also a chance to spend time in Italy. Just 45 minutes from Monza is Milan, the largest city in Lombardy, considered the economic powerhouse and fashion capital of the country 👠. This grand city is home to several historical treasures like il Duomo, Milan's cathedral ⛪. A magnificent monument that looks sewn, not carved! 😍 The Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II and the Cenacolo Museum are other marvels for travelers in this popular city. Also in Lombardy, the charming town of Bergamo with its old town and cobblestone streets awaits you with open arms. In the province of Brescia, Sirmione is a beautiful destination offering the Lake Garda, a gem of northern Italy. Lake Como is even closer to Monza, so what are you waiting for to take your significant other there? 💍
Besides Italy's incredible cultural heritage, our neighboring country boasts the breathtaking mountains of the Dolomites 🏔. Nature lovers won’t regret the trip, as this massif offers absolutely stunning landscapes, often very pronounced 😍.
So, what are you waiting for? Grab your shoes and run like a Formula 1 car! 🏁
