A day of sport, collaboration and social commitment saw colleagues take center stage at the Milan Relay Marathon on April 12, 2026—one of the most widely attended running events in Italy. CIAS took part in the relay with three teams, tackling the 42-kilometer city course together, divided into four legs. The race supported the activities of the Alzheimer Garden of the Fondazione Amici del Pio Albergo Trivulzio.
The finish line was the most intense moment: the final 500 meters, run together in a sprint, became an experience that went far beyond simple competition—something unforgettable for everyone involved.
An experience built together
Behind this day were months of preparation and shared effort, made up of training, organization, and mutual motivation. Nothing was taken for granted, and the result was only possible thanks to everyone’s concrete commitment.
As Raffaele De Astis, CEO and CIAS relay runner, highlights:
“I am grateful to everyone—runners and supporters—for making this day truly happen.
Months of training, mutual motivation, continuous step-by-step improvement, organization, coordination, and the willingness to challenge ourselves: none of this was a given, and none of it would have turned out the way it did without putting our hearts into it. This was the first time. It won’t be the last.”
An experience that leaves something tangible—both on and off the race course.
