Naples Marathon 2026

Here's a race that is bound to be the center of attention! 😎 Starting from Piazza del Plebiscito 📍, the Naples Marathon promises you nothing but pleasant surprises! Meanwhile, in the beautiful city Italian of Naples 🤌, in Campania, it’s hard to say no to wearing your next bib number under the gentle October sun 🌞. Seafront, historical district, must-see monuments... The Naples Marathon has nothing to envy from a Rome Marathon or a Venice Marathon! 👀 Sole difference: the number of participants 🏃‍♀️‍➡️. Younger and therefore less known, this marathon had no more than 3,000 runners at the starting line in the last edition! ☝️ Perfect, more chances for you to claim first place or a new PB ⏱️. But wait to see what Neapolitan sauce you'll be seasoned with during this sporty weekend in Neapolis! 🤔

Marathon, Half Marathon, 12.4 km non-timed or even festive walks and gastronomic of 5 or 7 km: you're about to experience a true running festival! 🥳 Although Italian conviviality is a must 🤗, don't forget the medal at the end of a few kilometers! 🥇 And the course is likely to delight many looking for a golden ticket: straight lines and an elevation gain close to zero 🤯. A shower of records on that day! 🌈 The landscape will make you run faster (or urge you to stop and take photos 📸): Royal Palace, Castel dell'Ovo 🏰, Sebeto Fountain ⛲, or even the Castel Nuovo set against the backdrop of the Mediterranean Sea 🤩. Don't worry, if you're afraid to tackle the marathon distance, the Half Marathon course will be the same: the 42.195 km is a double loop of 21.097 km 🤓.

And after crossing the finish line in Piazza del Plebiscito, why not celebrate your race with a pizza? 🍕 Yes, the Neapolitan pizza is a must-have since the 18th century and has even been inscribed as UNESCO World Intangible Heritage! 😍 The city of Naples, the third-largest largest city in Italy, has existed for about 3,000 years and thus holds one of the greatest cultural wealth in Europe. You can visit a good number of monuments (if your legs can still walk 😅): the Naples Cathedral, the Chapel of Sansevero, the Bourbon Gallery, or the Catacombs of San Gennaro! 🏛️ Nearby, you'll find the mythical Mount Vesuvius (which will have watched you throughout the race 🌋) with the remains of Pompeii and Herculaneum, take the opportunity to admire the excavations and remains of the year 79 🦴.

Besides being the city of pizza and culture, it is also the city of espresso and the football legend Diego Maradona. So come and sign up in the history of the Neapolis Marathon! 😜
