KARHU X TORINO CITY MARATHON
On November 23rd, 2025, Turin welcomes more than 6,700 runners from 19 countries for a race filled with energy and determination. This year, KARHU joins as the proud technical sponsor of the Torino City Marathon.
Born in Finland more than 100 years ago, KARHU has a long history in performance running. This partnership brings KARHU’s running heritage and performance expertise to one of Italy’s most respected road races.
The Turin Marathon tells the story of a city constantly in motion. From the grand facades of Piazza Reale to the flowing paths of Parco del Valentino and Stupinigi, every kilometer connects runners to the city’s rich architectural and cultural legacy. For KARHU, this partnership bridges two running traditions: the northern spirit of Sisu, quiet strength and perseverance, and the Italian devotion to collective celebration and movement.
As the official technical sponsor, KARHU brings its performance expertise to every race distance , the 42K Marathon, 21K Half Marathon, and the City Run. The official race T-shirts, crafted from 100% breathable mesh polyester and certified Oeko-Tex, combine comfort, sustainability, and visual identity. Each color represents a distance and a spirit: Fuchsia for the 5K City Run, vibrant and inclusive. Deep blue for the Half Marathon, steady and composed. Orange for the Marathon, bold and enduring.
Featuring the iconic Mole Antonelliana fading upward across a gradient design, each shirt celebrates both the city and the race.
The Turin Marathon is more than a race, it’s a meeting point of people, passion, and purpose. With every kilometer, runners trace a story of endurance and belonging, turning the streets of Turin into a living symbol of connection. Whether crossing the finish line in Piazzetta Reale or cheering from the sidelines, every moment embodies the values that unite KARHU and Turin: authenticity, perseverance, and pride in movement.
From the forests of Finland to the streets of Turin, KARHU continues its journey to support runners who take the road less traveled.This partnership marks a new chapter. One that celebrates endurance not as a finish line, but as a way of life.
During the Turin marathon KARHU will organize together with the Turin Flagship store several events including a shake out run.
