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.

Frequently asked questions about PortoPiccolo and the Bora Village
Where can I park on race day?
There are over 2,000 parking spaces across PortoPiccolo, Parco Caravella, the bay and the outlying areas. Of these, 796 — at PortoPiccolo and Parco Caravella — can be booked through your Runner Profile once you’ve registered; the rest are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Is there a campervan area?
Yes, there’s a dedicated campervan area in Sistiana Bay, a few minutes from the Bora Village.
What is the Bora Village?
The hub of the event: 750 square metres of heated space on the seafront, housing bib pick-up, hot refreshments, showers, changing rooms, the prize-giving and the rest area. Almost every race starts and finishes right outside.
Are there showers at the finish?
Yes: hot showers and well-equipped changing rooms for all finishers, inside the Bora Village, alongside the hot refreshments and the rest area. The rest area is a heated space to take a break, not somewhere to spend the night.
Can I stay right on the finish line?
Yes: PortoPiccolo is home to PortoPiccolo Apartments and the Tivoli PortoPiccolo hotel. You can book either one direct, or choose the all-inclusive option in your Runner Profile, which includes shuttles, your bib and race pack delivered to your room, and a reserved parking space.
PortoPiccolo isn’t just the hub of the Corsa della Bora: it’s a car-free village overlooking the Gulf of Trieste, a stone’s throw from Sistiana Bay and the Rilke Path. Discover PortoPiccolo and Sistiana Bay beyond the race →
