The Corsa dea Befana is held in Spresiano, in the Veneto region of northern Italy, on the morning of 6 January, the Epiphany public holiday. Entrants choose between a 7 kilometre and a 12 kilometre route, both staged from the town and listed together on the Trevisando calendar of traditional Italian marches. The ground underfoot is the flat, paved Veneto plain north of Treviso, which makes for quick, straightforward running rather than any serious climbing. The day is a low-key local affair, with registration, the start and the finish all handled by the organising club in the town itself. Full details, including confirmed timetables and entry fees, are published on the organiser's website closer to the date.
