Mytho Marathon 2025

Let's head to Italy 🇮🇹, to discover the stunning Lagoon of Marano, a must-visit spot in the Northeast of the boot 👢, near the border with Slovenia 🇸🇮. We’re getting ready for an amazing run in the province of Gorizia, in the region of Friuli Venezia Giulia 🌞: the Mytho Marathon in Grado 😍. A wonderful city event that will take you along the seaside 🌊 for several kilometers.

No, it’s not a lie we say this event offers 8 different distances ! Marathon runners will have plenty of company, and even dogs 🐕 are invited to the Mytho Marathon, for the Dog Run, a 3.5 km race! The other races are more traditional: a 5.5 km "Eco Run", a 6.5 km "Family Run" 👨‍👩‍👧‍👧, a 7 km "Night Run" 🌛, a 10 km "Nordic Walk" 🥾, a half marathon, a 30 km "Run" 💪, and the legendary 42 km marathon, which can be run solo or in relay! 👊

If you’re not familiar with this maritime region, you’re in for a pleasant surprise.

The town of Grado is often considered a prelude to Venice ⏳! But the magic doesn’t stop with the race; once you’ve given your all on the course, you can truly relax and enjoy yourself ! 😎 Grado is renowned for its thermal baths and is nicknamed "L'Isola del Sole" (The Island of the Sun) ☀️. Such nicknames are always a good sign 😅. Italy has a strong thermal spa culture 🌫️. You can unwind in spas 💆‍♂️ and then indulge in the delicious local cuisine hidden in the corners of the town 🍝. It’s the perfect time to explore must-see sites that will leave you with wonderful memories! 🌱

If you want to venture beyond Grado and discover the province, just ask! This area boasts many regional gems 👑, including the 11th-century Castle of Gorizia, the Regional Nature Park of the Corno Valley, and even Venice, which is less than 2 hours away by car 🚗. This time of year, there are fewer tourists... and mosquitoes 🦟. You could also take a boat and explore the nature reserve of the Lagoon of Marano, which has about thirty islands. In short, running is great, but discovering new (and beautiful) places beyond the race is fantastic too! 🤩

With the Mytho Marathon, you’ll enjoy the perfect combination of sport and culture 🌍.
