Here comes BUT Warm Up!

The inaugural edition of BUT Warm Up is just around the corner! This non-competitive fun run, organized by Formazza Event in partnership with the Italian Red Cross – Domodossola Committee, together with its Formazza local unit, will take place on Friday, July 3, starting at 8:30 pm.

Participants will enjoy a fun 8 km route along the roads of the Formazza plain, offering the perfect opportunity to run in the cool evening air while enjoying a relaxed atmosphere focused on having fun together and supporting a great cause.

All proceeds from BUT Warm Up will be donated to the Italian Red Cross – Domodossola Committee to help fund the purchase of a state-of-the-art 4×4 off-road emergency rescue vehicle designed for mountain rescue operations.

The start and finish area will be in Valdo, the same location that will host the start of the “big sister” event, BUT Formazza, the following week.

Entry is just €5, and participants can register directly on site.

After the run, the evening will continue with a DJ set, while a food area will also be available.

In short, the perfect way to kick off the weekend!
