Tourism and community events on Isola del Giglio

Overview

Isola del Giglio, a Tuscan island recognized as an UN Best Tourism Village, is emphasizing its identity through local traditions and sustainable tourism. Efforts to maintain long-term sustainability include managing seasonal tourism and transportation costs while promoting cultural events such as the Festa dell'Uva e delle Cantine in late September.

Building on this focus on community and nature, the island hosted the second edition of the Giglio Island Running on October 10–11, 2026. Organized by ASD Elba Runners, the event used Giglio Campese as a central hub to combine competitive racing with family-oriented activities designed to help visitors explore the island’s natural landscape.

The event concluded with approximately 400 participants competing across various distances. In the 30 km race, Jonathan Adami of Camisano Running ASD secured the men’s victory with a time of 02:25:21, while Caterina Bambi of A. S. Atl. Vinci won the women’s category in 02:53:06. The 21 km race saw victories by Andrea Zombardo of S. S. D. S. Mens Sana 1871 and Debora Ligabue, and the 11 km distance was won by Valentino Ventrella and Anisoara Babalic.
