Elba Island Marathon 2026

And if the Dolce Vita was running between sea and mountains? 😍 The Elba Island Marathon awaits you with its dream course along the magnificent coast of Tuscany 🗺️ for its 10th anniversary edition. Whether you choose to launch into it on the road with the 10 km, tackle the half-marathon, or push yourself with the marathon, the challenge will be there! 💪 The event also offers two non-competitive races, a "Family run" and a hike! Something to delight your friend group 👯 or go with your family 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒. So embark on a sporting and family adventure on the island where once Napoleon was exiled in 1814 after a few conquering setbacks... 😬 But you won't do the same during your marathon epic, because it's in May, in the heart of spring 🌸, that the start is launched! An idyllic setting to go beat your personal record, in optimal conditions with mild temperatures 😌 and a panoramic view of the Tyrrhenian Sea, facing Corsica! 🌊

Prepare for a race with the scent of sea air 🌬️, and that breathes the joy of living, Italian-style... Mamma! 🤌 If this marathon has a historical dimension due to its location and its former host 🤫, it is mostly appreciated for its unusual itinerary. You will cross rocky paths 🪨 at the edge of cliffs of one of the largest Italian islands, a course stretching 2 km of fine sand to finally end with a breathtaking view 👀 of the Montecristo Island (and no, not the one from Pierre Niney 🥸). And watch out for the sun! ☀️ The path offers little shade, and like an Italian seeing pineapple 🍍 on a pizza 🍕, it's going to give you a hard time... 🪡 But don't worry, a team of strong helpers ready to massage those beautiful legs 🦵 will be there at your arrival to relieve you 😌.

And if after the race 🏃‍♀️ you wish to discover more about this beautiful island, we have a few ideas for you... 😉 Go under the sea 🐠, where numerous marine caves still surely hide some treasures... 💎 Several seaside villages ⚓️ of the archipelago are full of locals eager to share the many secrets of Napoleonic and pirate history 🤫. This will add a historical note to your sporting experience, because it's always cool to learn, no matter the time! 🧠 For a more relaxed visit, we recommend enjoying some breathtaking coves and Fetovaia Beach as well as the Tyrrhenian Sea for a well-deserved moment of relaxation! You will also find several ferry and accommodation offers on the organizer's website for stress-free sports holidays 🧘‍♂️. And if you come with family or a partner, the National Park of the Tuscan Archipelago 🌳 will offer you breathtaking panoramas for unforgettable hikes! 🌟

So, ready to run this marathon in a paradisiacal setting? 🌅
