Italy 🇮🇹. Always a special destination for the French. The history of our nations has intertwined; we share a love of good food and lazing around... Rome for the French 🇫🇷 is equivalent to Paris for Italians—an enduring love story! It’s hard to sum up Italy in just a few destinations, but you have to start somewhere. In the North, <a href="kavval://cities/039ef7ca-39ff-498a-b299-8b3fcf9e0f67" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Milan</a> remains the country’s economic capital, while <a href="kavval://cities/f8c66ce3-cc5d-40fe-b6b7-d20a165de6dd" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Turin</a> is a charming city, far from the industrial-city image (hi Fiat) we often have of it. We invite you to discover Turin’s little cafés, preserved in their 19th-century charm... A real must! Rome, its 7 hills and its wonders (<a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colis%C3%A9e" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Colosseum</a>, <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forum_Romain_(Rome)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Forum</a>, <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panth%C3%A9on_(Rome)" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Pantheon</a>, <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vatican" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Vatican</a>...) needs no introduction. <a href="kavval://cities/79e4205f-ef8d-4d4b-93bd-6abd5ef9b334" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Venice</a> and Naples are two <a href="kavval://tags/seaside" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">seaside</a> cities to visit, and each will leave an indelible mark on your memory. We could mention Lecce and its colors, <a href="kavval://cities/ed1c703e-a946-416d-bfdc-1f64a668ba71" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Palermo</a> (<a href="kavval://level1AdminAreas/5cb48d92-405a-49e3-84a0-a2967ee1bfc7" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sicily</a>) and its contrasts... And we were about to forget the open-air museum that is <a href="kavval://cities/23249229-d192-4774-a060-97fbbb82224d" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Florence</a>, as well as beautiful <a href="kavval://cities/e35201ea-2f9c-4a05-9a5e-b6d6700c5c33" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Verona</a>, the city of Romeo and Juliet! Each region has its own culinary specialties. We recommend "carciofi alla giudia" in Rome (go in with your eyes closed) and the best pizza on the planet at da Michele in Naples. Beyond its cultural heritage, Italy has wonderful <a href="kavval://tags/mountain" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mountains</a> in the north, the famous <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dolomites" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dolomites</a> ⛰. Part of the <a href="kavval://places/4b4ff98f-072f-413a-9bfe-fd7f26f8052a" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Alps</a> massif to discover soon! The Apennine ranges cross all of Italy from north to south, offering a variety of landscapes across 20 Italian regions—notably the famous hills of Tuscany—and unspoiled nature for wolves 🐺 and bears 🐻! <a href="kavval://tags/seaside" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sea</a>, <a href="kavval://tags/mountain" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mountains</a>, culinary passions, <a href="kavval://tags/monuments" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">heritage</a>: didn’t we tell you Italy and France were twins?! Here to run the boot? Then let’s turn to Italy’s race calendar. All types of courses and distances are on the menu. Trail and <a href="kavval://pages/19c6236d-b5b7-431a-87ba-e50b74dcd383" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">trail</a> lovers, as well as fans of <a href="kavval://pages/30300aa8-919d-44ac-8ca6-015258ce663e" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">road running</a>, will find what they’re looking for. Among the most sought-after road races in Italy, let’s start with the <a href="kavval://events/c4b30f93-4715-4c91-adc0-56ddc4ba0664" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Rome Marathon</a> which, in addition to the <a href="kavval://pages/390ac20f-6103-4b2e-930e-b570ed852fb1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">mythical distance</a>, also offers a course suited to all audiences—the Fun Race—and a <a href="kavval://tags/relay" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">relay race</a>, Run4Rome. Because all roads also lead from Rome, the <a href="kavval://events/f1fc6280-db43-4b76-ab8e-a4a12041114a" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Roma-Ostia Half Marathon</a> will take you to discover Ostia, a seaside resort popular with Romans. The <a href="kavval://events/f633c98d-b561-4423-8761-9ab85b808744" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Venice Marathon</a> will give you the chance to admire Venice’s alleys, bridges, and many little squares. Want to get out of the cities, devour <a href="kavval://tags/forest" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">forests</a> and breathe pure oxygen? The <a href="kavval://events/704bab3c-4f34-47b9-9fb4-257ad871a5e1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dolomiti Extreme Trail</a>, like many Italian <a href="kavval://tags/off-road" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">nature</a> races, counts toward the <a href="kavval://tags/utmb-world-series" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">UTMB World Series</a>. We also suggest you look at the program for the <a href="kavval://events/83cd4a3e-8a6c-46bf-95b8-2ab9df85e096" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tor X</a> from afar—unless you feel ready to take on its different courses. Including a “shy” 450 km self-sufficient route... 😨 By the way, before we forget, did you know that <a href="kavval://tags/vertical" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">vertical races</a> were born in Italy? No? Then sign up for the <a href="kavval://events/84972127-4cfb-4b65-8786-c7cf4b8247b7" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Bei K3</a> if you want to feast on elevation gain—in this case, the Rochemelon, a massif located right in the heart of Piedmont.Wait, put the sneakers down for a minute 🤔. Italy is also a country for multisport diehards. On the <a href="kavval://pages/0b71d3cc-797b-4880-84bc-b8cbd83ba2eb" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">triathlon</a> side, head to <a href="kavval://cities/8a5cbb8d-6e84-49a3-8cb2-4427899906f5" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cervia</a>, in <a href="kavval://level1AdminAreas/9242a7ce-4854-4845-b607-128ac17e6d33" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Emilia-Romagna</a>, which hosts every September the only Italian long-distance <a href="https://www.finishers.com/course/ironman-d-emilie-romagne" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Ironman</a> event. Want to link swimming and running with no transition? <a href="https://www.finishers.com/disciplines/swimrun/swimrun-en-italie" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Swimrun</a> has found in Italy a golden playground, from the turquoise waters of <a href="kavval://level1AdminAreas/ce88dfca-a12e-4afc-80c7-f9f10a03f526" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Sardinia</a> to the stages of the <a href="kavval://events/dbb4a77b-3bbc-465b-bf4b-16f3e2891364" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">SwimTheIsland</a> circuit. Prefer to swallow mountain passes on tarmac? Italian <a href="kavval://pages/bab8d6bb-411f-47da-bc98-b84977e8ecce" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">cyclosportives</a> are among the most legendary in <a href="kavval://worldRegions/53092f0c-f97f-418a-97ee-7f59e0c986e4" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Europe</a>. The <a href="kavval://events/a11873ca-2ebb-4931-bed1-e4baa8aa39d0" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Maratona dles Dolomites</a>, whose bibs sell out in a matter of seconds, takes you over the Dolomites’ legendary passes. <a href="kavval://events/4d35cbe6-7db9-45c2-a7e0-b4dd9635d1a6" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">La Nove Colli of Cesenatico</a> has you climb the hills of the <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apennins" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Apennines</a>. And for those who like it when it crunches under the tires, <a href="https://www.finishers.com/disciplines/gravel/gravel-en-italie" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">gravel</a> has its temple in <a href="kavval://level1AdminAreas/614a565c-bcce-4c6c-bc38-e5d6a9cecc08" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Tuscany</a>: <a href="kavval://events/8219c327-af9a-4e61-b81c-df643020d28f" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Nova Eroica Buonconvento</a> and its big sister, L'<a href="kavval://events/e9cef4b8-a2e5-4e63-b88f-945b72b4579d" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Eroica</a>, send you onto the famous <a href="https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strade_Bianche" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">strade bianche</a>, those white, unpaved roads in the heart of Tuscany, between Chianti vineyards and Val d'Orcia. Vintage steel bike or cutting-edge gravel, the spirit remains the same: race, ride, relax 🚴. Mamma mia! Living is choosing, they said...
