Some of us have already planned the perfect route, others will improvise at the last minute, and still others are focusing on a strategic run or walk. But one thing’s certain: on Sunday, March 9, 111 of us from Teoresi Group will be running (or walking) together in Just The Woman I Am. The solidarity walk-run event started in 2014 in Turin by CUS Torino combines sports, solidarity, and research with a single goal: promoting prevention, healthy lifestyles, inclusion, and gender equality.
Where will we run? Everywhere.
As always, the event has a dual nature: on one hand, a big wave of pink T-shirts will fill the streets of Turin; on the other, widespread participation will happen all across Italy. Some of us will follow routes set by the organizers, while others will create their own 5 km path wherever they are that day. Just like last year, our team will be scattered across multiple cities, but united by the same goal: making our contribution to cancer and health research.
Spoiler: anyone can join!
Participants know this is not a race and there’s no stopwatch needed. You can run, walk, laugh with colleagues or friends, or stop halfway to snap a picture and share it on social media. What really matters is being there and sharing the experience.
The walk-run is part of a larger initiative organized by CUS Torino, in collaboration with the Italian Federation of University Sports, the University of Turin, and the Polytechnic of Turin. Since 2014, it has grown into an event of national importance; taking place from March 7 to 9 in Turin, the event supports research by also offering free health check-ups, consultations, conferences, and informative webinars.
See you on March 9! Comfortable shoes, a personalized JTWIA T-shirt with our Teoresi logo, team spirit, and the desire to be part of it: we’re ready. Are you?

Our participation in JTWIA is part of Teoresi Go!, our ESG initiative to promote well-being, awareness, inclusion, and positive societal impact: because every step counts!
