What a run! With over 200 participants from across Italy, the first ever “Faster. Monza” run on the legendary Formula 1 circuit was a great success! Being cheered on by Italian sprinter and PUMA ambassador Edoardo Scott, both men´s and women´s races ended in an exciting and thrilling sprint finish.

“As a huge Formula 1 fan, I can say that today has been a very special day. I hope that I’ll get the chance to do it again.”
The run really was one of a kind! Erin Longin, General Manager Run/Train, PUMA, emphasized: “Few people get the opportunity to drive a racetrack like Monza, but we want to give everyone the opportunity to run it.”
Faster. Monza. kicks off a series that will see PUMA and Formula 1 activate at multiple tracks throughout the 2024 season. Stay tuned for more events like this and of course the FORMULA 1 PIRELLI GRAN PREMIO D’ITALIA 2023 on September 3rd!
