From 18 April to 18 May 2025, AMICI Italia is once again launching the IBD Run, a symbolic initiative marking World IBD Day, on 19 May.
Over the course of a month, they invite people across Italy and beyond to move together – walking or running – to raise awareness of Inflammatory Bowel Disease and to share their support for those affected.
This year’s edition of the IBD Run has gained recognition and support from key institutions, including:
The Ministry for Sport and Youth,
CONI – Italian National Olympic Committee,
European Federation of Crohn’s and Ulcerative Colitis Associations (EFCCA),
Scientific societies such as AGGEI, AIGO, IG-IBD, and SIGENP.
There is no need to register, no set route to follow. Participants can take part anytime and anywhere – on their own or with others – simply by walking or running. It’s a simple act with a powerful message: “We are here.”
For those who wish to create their own team, AMICI Italia can be contacted via email at ibdrun@amiciitalia.net or on WhatsApp at +39 351 5979188
