Description:

Rosa Running Club started in Milan with a simple idea: make staying healthy a weekly habit and make it more enjoyable by sharing it with other people.

The club was created by Beer and Tijn from Rosa Health, a preventive health startup based in Milan. The name comes from Rosa Health, but it also stands naturally on its own. Rosa means both “pink” and “rose” in Italian, and it is a familiar first name.

We believe regular, easy exercise is one of the best things you can do for your long term health. We also know that it is much easier to keep showing up when a friendly group is waiting for you on Sunday morning. Rosa Running Club brings those two ideas together: movement that is good for you and a community that makes you want to come back.

We meet every Sunday at 10:00 for an easy 5 km run around the Giardini di Porta Venezia, in the centre of Milan. The pace is conversational, so you should be able to talk throughout the run. If the group grows large enough, we split into two pace groups so everyone can run comfortably.

The club is run in English and is open to internationals, students, locals and anyone else who would like to meet new people in Milan. You do not need to be fast, and it does not matter if you have not run in a while. Whatever shape you are in, you are welcome.

Our mission is simple: to make preventive health feel less like a task and more like something you look forward to doing with others.

Every Sunday, at conversation pace. Run for the long run.
