A DIFFERENT WAY
TO EXPERIENCE SPORT
BREATHE CAGLIARI. SHARE THE FEELING.
Since 2008, AF Motors Cagliari Respira has been turning the streets of Cagliari into a place where sport, health, the city and its people come together.
Every edition is an invitation to leave the noise of everyday life behind, breathe in the beauty of Cagliari and rediscover the joy of running together — sharing the effort, the passion and every breath along the way.
FOR US, A RACE IS ABOUT MORE THAN KILOMETRES.
IT’S ABOUT THE EXCITEMENT AT THE START LINE.
THE MOMENT YOUR BREATH FINDS ITS RHYTHM.
THE SEA BESIDE YOU AS YOU RUN.
THE CHEERS FROM STRANGERS WHO HAVE NEVER MET YOU, BUT ARE ROOTING FOR YOU.
THE FEELING OF CROSSING THE FINISH LINE KNOWING YOU’VE DONE SOMETHING GOOD FOR YOUR BODY, YOUR MIND AND YOURSELF.
THAT’S THE SPIRIT OF AF MOTORS CAGLIARI RESPIRA.
An event built around people. One that promotes health through movement and turns a day of sport into an experience worth living — and remembering.
OUR STORY
GROWING WITH THE CITY SINCE 2008
AF Motors Cagliari Respira was created by ASD Cagliari Marathon Club with a clear
ambition: to give Cagliari an event capable of bringing together sport, prevention, health and care for the local environment.
Year after year, the event has grown to become one of Sardinia’s leading running events, welcoming thousands of runners from across Italy and around the world.
A COMMUNITY BROUGHT TOGETHER
Thousands of local and international runners
Today, it continues to evolve without losing what has always made it special: its genuine
connection with Cagliari and the people who call it home.
OUR VALUES
WHAT OUR EVENT STANDS FOR
WELLBEING COMES BEFORE THE CLOCK
We believe movement is one of the most natural ways to take care of ourselves.
Running, walking or simply taking part means making time for both body and mind. Physical activity supports our health, reduces stress and gives us back energy, enthusiasm and confidence.
That’s why, at Cagliari Respira, the real achievement isn’t the time on the clock. It’s how you feel when you go home.
Sport is a form of care.
Breathing better means living better.
We have always promoted a culture of sport as a means of prevention and a way to improve health and quality of life. Physical activity is a valuable ally for respiratory health and for managing conditions such as asthma.
Through scientific conferences, educational meetings, and the event itself, we aim to share a simple message: staying active is one of the most important things we can do to take care of ourselves.
BEAUTY IS PART OF THE RUN
Our course takes you through the heart of Cagliari, along the shores of Poetto and into the peaceful landscape of Molentargius Park.
It’s more than a 21-kilometre route. It’s a journey through history, nature and ever-changing landscapes that turn every step into something to experience with all your senses.
Because beauty can be a source of energy too.
RUNNING IS SOMETHING WE SHARE
AF Motors Cagliari Respira is open to everyone. To those taking on the half marathon, those sharing the challenge in the relay, those joining the SeiKaralis and the children discovering the joy of running in the Kids Run.
Whatever your level of experience, your age or your personal goal, everyone who takes part helps build a community brought together by sport, solidarity and shared experiences.
CAGLIARI IS PART OF THE RACE
Any city can host a race. We want the city to become part of it.
AF Motors Cagliari Respira is also an invitation to experience Cagliari from a different perspective: its historic neighbourhoods, its seafront, Molentargius Park, its food and its hospitality.
Every runner who arrives becomes a traveller. Every friend or family member discovers a new place. And every edition gives us another opportunity to share Sardinia with the world.
