The event in a few words
Are you familiar with Milan, the major city in Northern Italy 🇮🇹, known for its elegance and charm? 😏 If not, hurry up and register for the Milano21 race, taking place in the heart of the Lombard capital 🏁. It's the perfect opportunity to explore Lombardy and all the cultural wonders Milan has to offer! 💫 You'll soon realize there's more to Milan than fashion and football (calcio), and understand why locals love their city so much. So what's the deal with this race?
Two city courses, on road, are available: a 10 km circuit and another 21 km one, the Milan half-marathon 🏃. These courses are set to be incredibly fast 🚀. You'll be zooming through the streets of Milan! ⚡️ But not necessarily in a rush ✋: the 10 km comes in both timed or untimed versions, and we love that! Some will be focused on their performance ⏱, others can enjoy the breathtaking monuments along the way 👀.
And they will be plenty, in Milan, standing in front of the elegant and unforgettable cathedral, Il Duomo! Lombardy's largest and economically strongest city also houses other historical treasures 🥰: check out the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II or the Last Supper museum ! 🖼 The latter holds some of the Italian cultural gems, including the famous fresco by Andrea del Sarto... Go check them out, it will make you feel as light as a feather as you start the race! 🪶
Lombardy has more to offer than Milan, Bergamo or Brescia, the home city of Roberto Baggio ⚽. Enough with the football references, promise ! 😂 Let's focus on something else: the mountainous areas make up over 40% of Lombardy's territory 🏔️. It's a paradise for nature lovers to find their perfect spot quickly! Not venturing as far as the Dolomites, the Orobie Bergamasche Park, in the north of Lombardy, is home to la Spedla, the highest peak of the Alps in this region, sitting at 4,000 meters above sea level 😮💨. The northern region of Italy is also famed for its hundred lakes, including Lake Garda and Lake Como, the two most well-known (and most beautiful 💙).
So, what do we say to the Milan half-marathon? Avanti!
