Coelmo Napoli City Half Marathon 2027
- Next event : Sun, February 21, 2027Date confirmed
The event in a few words
“In my eyes, it is without comparison the most beautiful city in the universe.” The French writer Stendhal ✍️, madly in love with Italy 🇮🇹, was not mistaken: Naples is a surprising and… eruptive city! 🌋 An explosive mix of chronic traffic jams, gleaming churches, palazzi under renovation, shops filled with all sorts of delights, but also a waterfront lapped by the Mediterranean 🌊, Naples is dominated by a giant: Vesuvius 😍. It is in this dream setting that the Coelmo Napoli City Half Marathon (officially the Coelmo Napoli City Half Marathon) takes place. But that's not all! In addition to the classic half marathon, take on the "Staffetta" challenge, a relay of 21.0975 km 🤝. An adventure to share with others, combining performance and team spirit 🏃♀️.
It is here, in this city of Campania full of contrasts, that artists as prestigious as Boccaccio and Caravaggio came to express their creativity ✍️. It is also here, in Italy's third-largest city, that you can sip a ristretto ☕️ early in the morning with the locals, stroll through the steep alleyways, discover the cultural wealth of the museums in the historic center, climb the Vomero hill to watch the twilight set the city ablaze and enjoy a Spritz at aperitivo time 🍸. A true dolce vita to savor over a weekend… 😎 Preferably in February, because that is when the fastest half marathon in the boot is scheduled! 👢
Created in 2016, the Coelmo Napoli City Half Marathon is quite simply the race that holds both the women's and men's national records for the distance 😮. Needless to say, they fly through the streets of Naples! ⚡️ While the fastest runners hardly have time to admire the course, you will likely be able to enjoy the spectacular route 🤩. Run along the sea, cross the historic district, catch a glimpse of Vesuvius in the background and, cherry on the cake olive on the pizza 🍕, try to beat your personal record ⏱️ : that is the mouth-watering program of the Coelmo Napoli City Half Marathon! You can let yourself be carried along by a flawless organization that holds no fewer than 3 certifications: World Athletics bronze 🥉, 5 stars ⭐️ from European Athletics and FIDAL gold 🥇.
And because there is more to life than sport, you can take advantage of your trip to Naples to enjoy a few days of vacation on the famous Amalfi Coast, a true Mediterranean jewel 😎. If you feel like it, you can even take a trip to the famous island of Capri or escape to the less overrun islands of Ischia and Procida 🏝️. Something tells us your schedule is going to be busy next February after picking up your finisher medal! 😅
Ready to take on the challenge? 🚀 We're waiting for you!
