Milan turns into a stage of energy and solidarity as it celebrates a major sporting event bringing together more than 30,000 runners from 100 countries, creating a weekend dedicated to sport, togetherness, and social commitment.
For the third consecutive year, UniCredit – long committed to supporting communities and local territories – proudly stood alongside the Relay Marathon on 12 April 2026 as Title Sponsor. This support also took the form of direct participation: 280 UniCredit colleagues collectively covered the 42 km of the charity relay through the streets of Milan, contributing to the Milano Charity Program and turning the race into a tangible act of social engagement.
UniCredit’s commitment went beyond the partnership itself. With the aim of making the runners’ experience even more engaging, buddy, UniCredit’s remote branch open 24/7, energized the Running Festival with a dedicated area for personalizing race shirts. This service was highly appreciated by both marathon runners and relay participants, adding a unique touch to an already emotional experience.
Great attention was also paid to younger participants. During the Family Run – the 4 km non-competitive race dedicated to families and children – buddy created a space specifically designed for young runners. A place of fun and play where families could also discover solutions designed for young people, such as Genius Pay Minori, created to support children and teenagers in taking their first steps toward a conscious and responsible approach to money management.
"Being alongside the Relay Marathon as sponsor for the third consecutive year makes us particularly proud,"
said Remo Taricani, Deputy Head of Italy at UniCredit.
"The energy generated during this major event confirms our belief that sport is a powerful tool for inclusion and social cohesion. Team spirit, collaboration, and social responsibility are not just principles that guide us, but values that come to life through initiatives like this one, capable of generating a positive and tangible impact on communities."
Further evidence of this commitment was UniCredit’s presence in the Charity Village at Giardini Palestro, with a gazebo dedicated to showcasing its social initiatives. This provided a valuable opportunity to engage with the many associations involved and to present the fundraising platform “Il Mio Dono”, created to support Third Sector organizations and promote projects capable of generating real and lasting value within local communities.
The UniCredit Relay Marathon 2026 represents not only a sporting achievement, but also a concrete demonstration of how sport and solidarity, together, can create a positive impact on communities. A commitment UniCredit will continue to uphold by strengthening its connection with local territories and supporting initiatives that truly make a difference.
