The event in a few words
Head to Verona ๐ฎ๐น, the city of the ill-fated lovers Romeo and Juliet ๐. If they sealed their love in this beautiful city, it's believed that you too might be swept away by a wave of love ๐ (but this time it will all end well, we promise ๐). But don't forget, you're here to run! You're more likely to find a stitch in your side than your soulmate! ๐ Fortunately, the Verona Marathon offers different races: a "Family Run" of 10 km for the more reserved ๐ณ, a beautiful half marathon with 21 km for the romantics ๐, and the fabulous marathon of 42 km for the passionate ๐คค. If you're coming to Italy ๐ค for the Verona Run Marathon, whether just for the marathon or the half marathon, you'll have the chance to explore the iconic streets of the city center as well as more remote and wild areas ๐พ. "Mmmh ma che bella"! ๐ป
The marathon and the half marathon will kick off at the Piazzale Olimpia, where the magnificent Marcantonio-Bentegodi Stadium ๐๏ธ is located. After that, you'll gradually enter the plains surrounding Verona. You will run along narrow roads before following one of Italy's greatest rivers: the Adige! ๐ This postcard-worthy scenery ๐ผ๏ธ will help you forget the fifteen kilometers you still have to cover before returning to the city center ๐. But the effort is worth it. With its medieval style, ancient houses, and Roman remains ๐ฉโ๐ซ, Verona is one of Italyโs most beautiful cities ๐ฅฐ. And if you're on the half marathon, you're almost at the end of your ordeal dream. You'll leave the marathon runners behind, heading straight to the Piazza Brร , right next to the impressive Arena Di Verona ๐๏ธ. Meanwhile, the brave marathoners will be surrounded by abundant nature! ๐ณ This time, it's the charm of Italian suburbs that might steal your heart โค๏ธ. Stay focused ๐งญ: you need to make it back before reaching Lake Garda! ๐๏ธ Remember your goal ๐ฏ: running! ๐โโ๏ธ Plus, the water is a bit cold this time of the year โ๏ธ. Upon reaching the municipality of San Martino Buon Albergo, about 10 km will remain for you to beat your time โฑ๏ธ and reunite with your friends at the finish line! ๐
As you can see, these different routes will allow you to discover and flirt with the historical sites of Verona โ๏ธ. As you might have guessed, a true cultural and sentimental adventure awaits you and we hope your heart is steady (and your fitness level ready ๐ซ) to get to know and court Italy! ๐
Get your ticket ๐๏ธ and come discover a unique race in a historic setting ๐ that will take you on a journey with every kilometer ๐โโ๏ธ. For all running enthusiasts, Verona awaits to surprise you... And make you sweat! ๐ฆ
