Milan Marathon 2026

Welcome to the capital of Lombardy ! 🇮🇹

The Milan Marathon is gearing up to entertain you in 2026! 🤩 Its international reputation in the running world is well-known: the Wizz Air Milano Marathon is not an ordinary race, but rather an unforgettable memory in the minds of each of its participants! 💗 It is unique in its kind and especially the fastest marathon in the country, with a start and finish in the center of the second largest city in Italy! If you’re not keen on doing 42 km solo, no worries, you can still participate in the marathon in a 4-person relay! 💣 As a team, and stronger than ever, each runner will have to complete between 6.5 km and 13 km 👣. You’ll pass by many famous monuments, from Arco Della Pace 🏛️, to Castello Sforzesco 🏰, then the Duomo, of course, but also the parc di Trenno 🌳, the San Siro racetrack 🏇 or the G.Meazza stadium! 🏟️ Some people are lucky! 🍀

The positive point that makes a difference when running the Milano Marathon is the atmosphere! 🥳 Every street corner is a real fiesta party, almost better than some well-watered evenings! 🤪 Anyway, you won’t lack encouragement. Italians will know how to use their strong voices to cheer you on! 🗣️ The course passes through the city’s highlights, where many supporters will be there to celebrate you! 🕺 Moreover, it won't just be the supporters celebrating! Did you know that a dog race is also organized? 🐶 What better than being accompanied by your faithful companion to push your limits together? The 1.5 km race will take place on Saturday for our four-legged friends 🐩. On Saturday, there will also be the "Family Run". So, you can bring your little family along to set the chronometer in crew! 👨‍👧‍👧

Well, running is great, but you might be wondering what Milan can offer you? Well, plenty of things, don't get it wrong! And I promise, it’s not just fashion that is iconic in Milan 👗. To prove otherwise, Finishers offers you unusual places to make your stay even more exciting! On your first day in Milan, you cannot miss the streets of the city center. The Duomo, the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele, the Palazzo Reale, the Museo del Novecento, the Teatro della Scala and the Brera Art Gallery. Delight in the wonderful scents of the Brera Botanical Garden, founded by Empress Maria Theresa of Austria (Marie-Antoinette’s mother) 👑. More than 300 plant species await you 🌿. Otherwise, have you heard of igloo houses? ❄️ No, not the ones from the Inuits, but those in Italy! 😵 They are small round houses, built after the Second World War. They are part of Milan’s architectural wealth, of course! To contemplate it, we recommend climbing onto the roof of the Milan Cathedral (you should know where it is, the start of your race is on the square next to it 😉). Bonus for fans of the Paris Catacombs (because yes, they are much more popular than you might think): the San Bernardino ossuary ! 🦴 Also called the kingdom of the dead, it’s a somewhat peculiar chapel because it is covered with bones. And yes, that’s part of the culture too! 🙌 In any case, in Milan, you won’t be twiddling your thumbs… 🙄

Well then? Are we meeting at the Milan Marathon? 💪 Grab your bib number and start exploring the city, on foot or running! ☺️
