Sesto Calende to host Pancake Run 2026

Sesto Calende will host the Pancake Run 2026 on Saturday, September 12, to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Pancake Factory. Inspired by British Shrove Tuesday traditions, the event features a race where participants must run while flipping a pancake in a pan without letting it fall.

The competition requires a combination of speed, balance, and coordination. The event begins with a single heat at 20:00, followed by a grand final at 20:30 to determine the champion. Winners will receive various prizes, including vouchers, official shirts, and specialized awards such as the ‘golden little pan’.
