Trieste or Sistiana?
It doesn’t matter.
Both options offer the same quality of service. The choice is entirely yours, not dictated by logistics.
Stay wherever you like
Every race except the Bora Ultra and the Trieste Ultra is a loop: start and finish are at PortoPiccolo, about 20 minutes from Trieste city centre.
Deciding whether to stay in Trieste or near the finish isn’t a question of convenience: we offer reserved parking and shuttles, both of which you book in your Runner Profile. In short: where you stay depends on you alone, not on logistics or parking.
Trieste
Ideal if you want to experience the city, are travelling with family, or are arriving by train or plane. The station and the city centre are linked to the Bora Village by dedicated shuttles.
Sistiana / PortoPiccolo
Perfect if you’d rather stay close to the finish or want a seafront apartment. Wake up and you’re already on the start line.
Just want to focus on running?
Once you’ve registered, log in to your Runner Profile and book directly on our website at the best rates, guaranteed. You’ll find big savings and plenty of extra services included — forget Booking.com.

Searching on your own?
On online booking platforms, centre your search on Sistiana, Aurisina, Barcola or Monfalcone. If you simply search for “Trieste”, aim for the area around the Central Station or the Rive.
Before booking elsewhere, log in to your Runner Profile and check the exclusive offers: they’re often cheaper than on any booking platform.

WebsiteSleeping in the gym — service suspended
Sleeping in the gym is an experience many people remember fondly. However, offering this service in winter poses serious problems: the law doesn’t allow it (gyms aren’t residential premises), the organisers are liable for any damage or injury, and heating and cleaning costs are high — especially when a few people don’t follow the rules. Despite our efforts, a lack of respect from a few people has forced us to suspend this service.
PortoPiccolo — Bora Village
Start and finish for almost every race. The Bora Village at PortoPiccolo is the event’s base: a fully covered, heated venue overlooking the Gulf of Trieste, with everything you need before, during and after the race.
One place for bibs, expo, showers, food and prize-giving — no moving from place to place, nothing spread out. Arrive, run, celebrate.
Accommodation
Apartment or hotel: book it yourself or straight from your Runner Profile. At the Corsa della Bora you can share an apartment with other runners — we’ll take care of matching you up with flatmates.
PortoPiccolo and Sistiana have places to stay just a short walk from the start. Trieste is 20 minutes away by bus.
Shuttles
Dedicated shuttles run from Trieste Central Station to the Bora Village and back: the outward trip costs €4 and the return is free. Each distance has its own timetable — check the page for your race.
The Bora Village is also on the regular Airport–Trieste bus route, so you can get there by public transport without the shuttle.
Getting to Trieste
The Bora Village is ideally located: two minutes from the motorway exit, 15 minutes from Trieste Central Station and 20 minutes from Friuli Venezia Giulia Airport.
By car, train, bus or plane — Trieste is closer than you think. It’s 90 minutes from Ljubljana and less than two hours from Venice.
