Cinque Mulini : English
The Cinque Mulini is an annual international cross country race held in San Vittore Olona, near Legnano, organized by Unione Sportiva San Vittore Olona 1906. The event was born in 1933 and takes its name from a route that crosses five historic mills along the Olona river. The course combines natural and urban sections and includes specific landmarks that recur on each lap, such as Mulino Cozzi, Mulino Meraviglia, Rampa del Giovanni, Il Ponte and Il Vallo.
The program covers multiple age categories from young children to masters and senior international fields. Races use different lap schemes, with some events running short laps without mills and others including one or more laps that pass the mills. The 94th edition is scheduled for 22 November 2026. Course maps and the official regulations are published as downloadable documents.
