Rome 21K (Half Marathon in Rome) 2024

It seems that all roads lead to Rome… 🙄 And we bet that your runner's path will definitely take you to the Rome 21K this November! 😉 The event features a half-marathon and a 10K race, charted right in the heart of the Italian capital 🇮🇹, an incredible city in the Latium region where 28 centuries of history create a fascinating urban landscape and a veritable open-air museum 😍. Thanks to its very smooth course (we promise, we won't make you climb the famous 7 hills), the Rome 21K is the ideal race to challenge your personal record on a half-marathon or a 10K. And if you're not interested in tracking your pace, you can also join the 10K "Fun" race, open to runners, walkers, and everyone who wants to enjoy the celebration without worrying about rankings! 🥳

No matter your choice, for a weekend in the Caput Mundi, you'll feel at the center of the universe! Whether you go for the 10K or the Rome 21K, you'll be dazzled by the exceptional monuments along the route: from the Colosseum to the stunning Vatican 🇻🇦 and its gardens. It's much more than a race: it's a high-speed guided tour of the Eternal City. Take courage in both feet and cross the city's bridges and viaducts for an unforgettable running experience! ✨ The Rome half-marathon course immerses participants in an incredible tour, among ancient temples and amphitheaters, churches of all sizes, magnificent palaces featuring Renaissance and Baroque architecture, countless fountains, and quaint streets with a medieval flair… 🥰 Memories that will stay with you forever!

After your race, expand your exploration and discover the Urbs filled with historical wonders and museums, like the Pantheon and the Sistine Chapel 🤩. Rome is brimming with activities to do and places to visit. When it comes to recovery, you can count on the local cuisine for a glycogen refill 🤤. Indulge in dishes like spaghetti carbonara, penne all’arrabiata, gnocchi alla romana, Roman pizza 🍕, pomodori al riso, and also stracciatella (not the ice cream flavor, but a meat broth with eggs and Parmesan ☺️), or even coda alla vaccinara (brace yourself, it's an oxtail stew! 😅). You can also relax in the Villa Borghese, the city's green lung, or lose yourself in the picturesque alleyways of the historic Monti district... Your recovery might be quite active!

Oh, one last tip: to be sure of beating your record, don't forget to toss a coin into the Trevi Fountain ⛲️. It would be a pity not to give yourself every chance of success!
