On Sunday 3 March 2024, the eleventh edition of JUST THE WOMAN I AM will officially start.
New for the 2024 edition: the run will start from Piazza Vittorio Veneto and will finish in Piazza San Carlo. The Prevention and Wellbeing Village will also be set up in the evocative Piazza San Carlo in Turin on 1, 2 and 3 March. The Village is an opportunity for meeting, dialogue and celebration between
the academic world, Italian healthcare excellence, citizens and schools. An event within the event that will offer free prevention visits, consultations and presentation of non-profit associations, conferences and informative webinars. The village will be implemented thanks to the support of the University of
Turin, the Politecnico di Torino, the Fondazione Collegio Universitario Einaudi, Edisu Piemonte, the ASL Città di Torino, the A.O.U. Città della Salute e della Scienza di Torino and the several associations that have been participating in the event for years.
JTWIA has grown edition after edition and keeps evolving every year! A journey that has led it to be more sustainable, innovative and eco-friendly. It has expanded its communication platform, reproposing the traditional Meeting Space in the square with a new look: an evocative transparent dome in Piazza San Carlo. Moreover, it is now a globally popular event. All this without ever betraying its ideals: free prevention, healthy lifestyles, inclusion and gender equality. JTWIA has always been taking place strictly in the first week of March, around International Women’s Day.
R101 is the official radio station of the 2024 edition. It will be there in Turin to entertain people with its music and with a special focus on solidarity and inclusion, distinctive features of the radio station.
The latest edition broke all records: more than 22,000 people registered for the 5-kilometre non- competitive walk/run in 2023. A minimum donation of 20 euros per person is required to participate in JTWIA. It will be possible to take part in the event either In person, starting at 4 p.m. from the amazing Piazza Vittorio Veneto in Turin, or in Virtual mode, choosing your own 5 km route and sharing your experience on social media. The Virtual mode is confirmed again for the 2024 edition, as an additional possibility for registered individuals and JTWIA Teams from all over the world to participate.
The JTWIA Teams have always been the beating heart of the event, the best way to support university research and to live the JTWIA experience more intensely from the very first step, that of registering, with the possibility of customising the back of the T-shirt with a logo of your choice at no extra cost after registering a minimum of 20 participants. Each participant in the event will be able to choose the registration method (in Presence/Virtual, Individual/Group) on the dedicated page of the https://jtwia.org/iscrizioni/ website and will receive the registration kit and Welcome Bag directly at home (with a 3 euro surcharge for the delivery service) or opt to purchase the registration kit at the pick-up points throughout the Turin metropolitan area, thanks to the partnership with DECATHLON ITALIA.
Since the 2024 edition, the Gattinoni Group is the main supporter of the event. But there are also many other partners supporting JTWIA: Lauretana, Decathlon, ITT, Boella e Sorrisi, Nova Coop, Iveco Group, Larc, Yogi Tea, Mercatino, Iren, Pastiglie Leone, Fantolino, Tecnocasa, Battaglio, ESCP, the
Organising Committee of the Turin 2025 Games and R101 itself.
Finally, the programme of the Prevention Village on Friday 1 March is dedicated to schools.
Supported by the Ufficio Scolastico Regionale per il Piemonte (Piedmont Regional School Office), the project will explore, among others, two of the issues closest to Generation Z: addictions and eating disorders. Young people and teachers from primary and high schools can participate in a real “student friendly” educational pathway that has them as protagonists in debates and meetings
