Cycling & running events in Forlì, 2026

Forlì Training Notes

Running: Locals run from the city centre when they want steady laps and a simple shakeout. The Montone river gives Forlì Green City Trail its line, and that race feels like the local off-road anchor. III^ Straforlì Run in the City gives the city-centre legs a proper test. IV^ Tin Bota Romagna Half Marathon, AL 4 FRAZIO', 10° Fuga Forrest, 2° Flowers Runner, V^ 10 km Citta' di Faenza, 100 Km del Passatore, and Ravenna Park Race 2026 keep the calendar full. The top 20 clubs get recognized at 2° Flowers Runner, so the small scene shows up.

Cycling: Locals ride Forlì as a base-mile town first. The flat routes run 4 km, follow the Montone river embankment, continue along the Fiumi Uniti, and reach the sea and the coastal beaches. The climbing routes start at 4 km with 106 m ascent. The climbing starts when routes point to Castel San Pietro Terme, Villagrande, Ozzano dell'Emilia, Urbino, Rocca delle Caminate, Monte Busca, and Barbotto. Granfondo Terre del Sangiovese, Fiandre Cesenati, Nove Colli, Gran Fondo Marco Pantani, Granfondo Riccione, and Giro del Mito are the anchor names.

Season: May and September suit Forlì best for cycling, and runners get the same clean rhythm for intervals, Z2, and longer weekend work. Summer in Forlì turns hot and sunny, and temperatures can exceed 30°C during the harder weeks. Locals go early, keep the flat river lines honest, and save the bigger road or MTB days for cooler windows. Winter brings cool, moist days and frequent fog. The city centre still works for running, while cyclists lean into flatter spins, shorter loops, and steady base miles until the Sirocco briefly warms things from the south.
