The event in a few words

Are you ready for the Sanremo Marathon? Then andiamo! ๐ŸคŒ It is in Italy ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น, in Sanremo, in the heart of Liguria, that you will start this race full speed ๐ŸŽ. An exceptional setting awaits you on the edge of the Ligurian Sea ๐ŸŒŠ and on the old railway line ! ๐Ÿš‚ For its new edition, 5 race distances will be offered to you: 10 km, 21 km and 42 km, a "Family Run" ๐Ÿ‘ช of 2.5 km (open to adults and children) and a 5 km accessible to all. Enough to enjoy a big party organized ๐ŸŽ‰ around sports ๐Ÿƒ and tourism ๐Ÿงณ.

The course of the Sanremo Marathon is extremely scenic as it runs along the path of the old railway and runs along the sea for its entire distance ๐Ÿฅฐ. You will have the chance to enjoy a very fast route, as it stretches straight with almost no elevation (enough to beat your personal record โŒš). The only surprise guest (not welcome ๐Ÿ˜ฅ) might be the wind ๐ŸŒฌ. In any case, the straight course of the marathon and its "out-and-back" format ๐Ÿ” will allow you to reach speed peaks โšก๏ธ that even the sea breeze wouldn't be able to stop!

The course will take the bike path ๐Ÿšด of the coastal park of the Riviera of Flowers ๐ŸŒธ. It is one of the emblematic places of the region: it stretches along the Italian coast from Ventimiglia to Sanremo. Nicknamed "Land of Colors" ๐ŸŒˆ (and it will give you some during the race), Sanremo is the capital with its flower gardens ๐Ÿ’, rich in exotic species ๐ŸŒด and its many horticultural farms ๐Ÿชด. In 2000, the Riviera of Flowers saw an ambitious project ๐Ÿšง: the elevation of the railway ๐Ÿ›ค and doubling of the train tracks. This freed up a highly valuable area, directly adjacent to the sea ๐ŸŒ…. Institutions decided to seize this incredible opportunity to transform the disused old railway line into a park natural coastal park ๐ŸŒณ, crossed by a 24 km long bike path... And it became the marathon course! ๐Ÿ˜

But that's not all! You will discover other features of the Italian coast: the villages of Arma di Taggia, Riva Ligure, Santo Stefano al Mare, and Ospedaletti (and gli spaghetti... ๐Ÿ Ah no, it's not yet time to talk about that ๐Ÿ˜…). Thanks to its multiple events and distances suitable for all runner profiles, this event is becoming more and more significant and attracts more and more families and running enthusiasts ๐Ÿ˜Ž. Talking of spaghetti, you would do well to take advantage of this little weekend in the land of Dante to fill up on good things! ๐Ÿ˜‹ It will be an opportunity to escape the daily routine: pasta, pizza, tiramisu and more ๐Ÿ˜ฌ. We provide a non-exhaustive list to whet your appetite ๐Ÿคค, as there is no shortage of typical Sanremo dishes! As a coastal city, there are many seafood products ๐ŸŸ in its cuisine: calamari ๐Ÿฆ‘, octopus ๐Ÿ™, anchovies... We hope you like fish! You can thus enjoy a sardenaira, the old pizza ๐Ÿ• of Sanremo, accompanied by a small glass of Vermentino ๐Ÿท.

The Sanremo Marathon (not without Nemo ๐Ÿชธ) has all the qualities required to give you an experience comparable to the beauty of a work by Michelangelo! ๐Ÿ–ผ
