The QARCO Games 2026 represent a rapidly growing athletics event that, over its first four editions, has attracted increasing interest from athletes, coaches, and enthusiasts. The meeting has established itself among the most important events at national level, ranking third in Trentino, just behind the historic Palio della Quercia of Rovereto and the International Meeting of Pergine.
The 2025 edition recorded a high technical standard, with outstanding performances across several disciplines. Notably, in the high jump, local athlete Asia Tavernini claimed victory, while in the 100 metres Arnaldo Romero Crespo stood out with an excellent time of 10.12 seconds, confirming the quality of the athletes competing. Numerous other podium finishes featured top-level national athletes, helping to make the meeting a key reference point for Italian athletics.
The 2026 edition aims to continue this growth path, with the goal of becoming a permanent member of the elite of national athletics meetings, further strengthening the event’s prestige and its sporting, social, and territorial impact.
The QARCO Games take place at the Via Pomerio Sports Center in Arco, a venue that over the years has reinforced the city’s role as a reference point for running in all its forms — from road running to trail running, from mountain running to track and field athletics.
