About Virtus Groane ASD
Founded in 1978 and officially renamed Virtus Groane ASD in 2021, our amateur sports association (non-profit ASD) is affiliated with the Italian Athletics Federation (FIDAL), the Italian Triathlon Federation (FITRI), and AICS. We are based just northwest of Milan (Lombardy, Italy), carrying out our training sessions and community sports across the municipalities of Senago, Solaro, and Limbiate, nestled in the green landscape of the Parco delle Groane nature reserve.
"Da noi si corre per sé stessi ma non contro gli altri: si corre insieme."
("Here, we run for ourselves, but never against each other: we run together.")
We believe in an inclusive, welcoming, and community-driven sports environment where mutual respect and personal wellbeing go hand in hand with technical excellence. Guided by certified federal coaches and sports science professionals, we support athletes of every age and background — from children taking their first steps in track & field, to recreational runners and masters competing in national and international events.
