How to prepare for the Palermo Marathon?

Aim for a realistic goal: the Palermo marathon gives you 5h30 to reach the finish line. Look for the pacers with colored balloons, set at paces from 3h00 to 4h15 as at many Italian marathons, to settle into your pace without going out too fast at the start. A medical certificate confirming no contraindication to competition is mandatory to line up at this Palermo marathon.
