Youth sports competitions have been held in Italy, including cycling and athletics events.

In late September, Giulianova hosted the inaugural Trofeo Città di Giulianova – Gaglioti Ricambi Industriali. This cycling event for young athletes served as the final stage of the Minigiro d’Abruzzo “Trofeo WDB” circuit, featuring a 1,500-meter loop designed to promote healthy competition and grassroots sports development.

In October, regional athletics championships were held in Giulianova, where athletes from Atletica Teramo achieved several successes, including a new regional record in the under-14 60m hurdles set by Samuele Di Sabatino. Simultaneously, the Sprint & Fun event in Novara hosted over 300 young athletes across various disciplines such as running, jumping, and throwing.
