Rome, 12 November 2026 – Less than a month after the conclusion of the Wizz Air Rome Half Marathon by Brooks, the half marathon organized by Roma Ostia together with RCS Sports & Events on behalf of Roma Capitale, the date of the fourth edition has already been confirmed: the race will take place on Sunday, 17 October 2027.
Once again, Wizz Air will stand alongside the organizers of one of Italy’s most renowned sporting events on the international stage.
The airline, which actively supports running events and has always been committed to sustainable mobility across several European cities, has renewed its commitment as Title Sponsor for the 2027 edition. This strong partnership, which began with the very first edition of the Wizz Air Rome Half Marathon in 2024, continues following a success that exceeded expectations. Last October, more than 40,000 runners from all over the world took part in the event, eager to run along a course entirely set within the historic heart of the Eternal City.
Renewing the Title Sponsorship of the Wizz Air Rome Half Marathon for the fourth year means continuing a partnership that grows alongside us and reflects our ambition to create connections, bring people closer together, and open up new opportunities. Year after year, this event has established itself as a unique occasion that brings together sport, passion, and participation in an extraordinary setting such as Rome, filling the streets of the Capital with the energy of tens of thousands of runners from all over the world. The Wizz Air Rome Half Marathon fully embodies the desire to challenge oneself, push beyond personal limits, and reach new goals. This is a spirit that we share and that accompanies our growth journey in Rome and across Italy. Rome and Italy play a central role in this journey, and the renewal of this sponsorship demonstrates a commitment that goes beyond the expansion of our route network, strengthening our relationship with the local area and the communities that choose us every day. We are proud to continue supporting an event that keeps growing in participation and ambition, helping to make the Capital an international meeting point through sport as well. Let’s WIZZ, Rome!”
Matteo Mursia, Chief Revenue Officer of RCS Sports & Events:
“The Wizz Air Rome Half Marathon by Brooks has enriched our events portfolio thanks to the record-breaking numbers achieved so far, the international profile of its participants, and the involvement of numerous partners. The renewal of the agreement with Wizz Air, which believed in the event from the very first edition organized by RCS Sport, is a source of great satisfaction and pride for us. Together with Wizz Air as Title Sponsor, we have grown to surpass 40,000 runners this year, all of whom enthusiastically and emotionally took to the streets of the Eternal City. It is a passion that we share with our co-organizers Roma Ostia and the Department for Major Events, Sport, Tourism and Fashion of Roma Capitale, with the confidence that this partnership will continue to grow and improve in the years ahead.”
