We’re thrilled to announce the first edition of the Turkey Trot Night Run, taking place on Wednesday, November 26 2025, with meeting time at 8:00 PM at Jo&Joe Rome Hostel (Via delle Quattro Fontane 113, right in the heart of Rome).

The event is organized together with ROME BY RUN and is designed as a non-competitive night run, open to everyone who loves running—or just wants to experience Rome in a new light.

Why Join

• A unique atmosphere – run through the illuminated streets of Rome, feeling the magic of the city at night.
• Free and inclusive – this is not a race! We’ll run at a relaxed pace suitable for all levels.
• Community vibes – meet local runners, travelers, and friends who share the same passion for movement and discovery.
• After-run hangout – we’ll gather at Jo&Joe afterwards for drinks, chats, and good vibes.

Who can join

Everyone! You don’t need to be an athlete or a fast runner. All levels are welcome — from beginners to seasoned marathoners — as long as you want to move, smile, and share the experience.

“What level of running is required? All levels are welcome!”

How to join

No registration required — just show up!

Arrive a few minutes early to check in and join the warm-up.

Bring your ID, running shoes, and a light jacket if it’s chilly.

Stay for the after-run social moment — drinks, snacks, and new friends!

Why “Turkey Trot”?

Inspired by the American Thanksgiving tradition, the Turkey Trot Night Run brings that festive, grateful spirit to Rome. It’s about gratitude, community, and joy — celebrating movement and togetherness under the Roman night sky.

Mark your calendars, invite your friends, and get ready to run through Rome by night.

See you at 8 PM in front of Jo&Joe — let’s trot together!
