Atletica Casalini

Atletica Casalini, established in Cisternino in 1990, is a dynamic athletic association dedicated to trail running and mountain sports. Renowned for its stunning natural landscapes, particularly the Murge hills overlooking the Adriatic, the organization hosts various sporting events that celebrate nature and sustainability. One of its hallmark events is the annual Trail dello Smeraldo, a challenging 16km race that invites athletes of all levels to embrace the thrill of running in a non-competitive 7km walk.

Collaborating with local institutions such as the Comune di Cisternino and the Polimedica di Cisternino, Atletica Casalini fosters a spirit of community engagement and ecological awareness. The association prides itself on its commitment to creating an immersive and enjoyable experience for participants, ensuring safety through volunteer support and professional timing services. With a clear focus on promoting outdoor sports, Atletica Casalini is a cornerstone of the Brindisi province’s running community, providing opportunities for both seasoned runners and newcomers alike to connect with nature and each other
