Going up towards the hinterland and following via del Carro you can reach the village of Santamonica, a legendary place for fans of motor racing, athletics and soccer.
In fact, the district dedicated to the champions of two and four wheels is home to two internationally renowned sports facilities: the Santamonica Stadium and the Misano World Track.
The Santamonica stadium, (recognizable for its dragon-like roof) with an athletics track, often hosts youth meetings. The natural grass soccer pitch hosts international youth tournaments in the summer and during the rest of the year, in addition to the local soccer team, the training sessions of the national soccer teams that play international European and world qualifying matches against the national team of San Marino.
The Misano World Track owes its media success to the Grand Prix of San Marino and the Riviera di MotoGP which it has been hosting again since 2007. Dedicated to the late Marco Simoncelli, it consists of an international racetrack which, in addition to the international races (Misano is one of the few places in the world where two World Motorcycle Championships are held – in fact, in addition to MotoGP, there is also Superbike) offers fans the chance to get on the track with their own motorcycles thanks to free practice. In addition to the racetrack where Valentino Rossi and his teammates race, the Misano Track also offers a racetrack (Misanino) not only for competition and amateur kart races but also for motard, minimotard and pitbike races.
