The event in a few words
In the sacred mountains of Mount Circeo, where the waves of the Tyrrhenian Sea ๐ crash against the cliffs and where the mysteries of the Odyssey come to life ๐ญ, San Felice Circeo awaits you ๐คฉ. This corner of Italy ๐ฎ๐น, nestled in the Lazio region, is steeped in legends ๐งโโ๏ธ. It is said that here, the enchantress Circe ๐งโโ๏ธ transformed Ulyssesโ sailors into pigs ๐. Fortunately, the only transformation you can expect on these lands is becoming a modern hero ๐ , ready to conquer the Maga Circe Marathon.
Prepare to run in an exceptional setting ๐. Between San Felice Circeo and Sabaudia, you'll be surrounded by the wild beauty of the Circeo National Park, a protected area of nearly 8,500 hectares. The start, at the port of San Felice Circeo โ, launches you on a paved route that winds between the towns of Sabaudia along the sea. ๐ But that's not all: the Maga Circe Marathon is an international event, registered on the prestigious World Athletics Global Calendar and the Italian national FIDAL calendar as a Bronze stage ๐ . If you're not ready to take on such a distance, other routes are available ๐ค. The more daring will choose the 28 km, a perfect challenge to balance effort and pleasure โก. Speed lovers will take on the 10 km ๐ while families will enjoy the Family Walk of 2.5 km ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ.
But this adventure doesn't stop at the finish line ๐. Once the medal is around your neck ๐ , let yourself be seduced by the treasures of San Felice Circeo and its surroundings. Climb to the summit of Mount Circeo โฐ๏ธ for breathtaking panoramas, explore the mysterious Guattari Cave ๐ณ๏ธ, where Neanderthal remains were discovered, or simply relax on the pristine beaches of Sabaudia. Even if the water is not very warm in February, plunge into the Tyrrhenian Sea to soothe your tired muscles ๐ฆต... It's a free cryotherapy session โ๏ธ ๐. And because a hero deserves a feast ๐ฝ๏ธ, indulge in local specialties: fresh seafood ๐ฆ, stracciatella alla Romana ๐ฒ, and of course, a glass of wine ๐ท or a limoncello ๐ to celebrate your victory. To be consumed in moderation of course! ๐ซก
