Welcome!

The year 2007 marks the 10th Anniversary of the foundation of the Dead Runners Society Italia and we will celebrate it with a national meeting - the occasion is then ideal to host an event on a larger scale for other runners worldwide. We are honored that Italy has been chosen to host the XV edition of the Dead Runners Society World Conference. Turin is the first European city and the second city outside of the United States of America to host a DRS World Conference, after Toronto (Canada) in 2006.

Members discuss their running programs and encourage each other. Topics include everything from meditation to marathons. There are several Dead Runners Society running clubs worldwide.
