Verona Run Marathon

The event in a few words

Head to Verona ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น, the city of the ill-fated lovers Romeo and Juliet ๐Ÿ’. If they sealed their love in this beautiful city, it's believed that you too might be swept away by a wave of love ๐Ÿ˜ (but this time it will all end well, we promise ๐Ÿ˜‰). But don't forget, you're here to run! You're more likely to find a stitch in your side than your soulmate! ๐Ÿ˜‚ Fortunately, the Verona Marathon offers different races: a "Family Run" of 10 km for the more reserved ๐Ÿ˜ณ, a beautiful half marathon with 21 km for the romantics ๐Ÿ˜˜, and the fabulous marathon of 42 km for the passionate ๐Ÿคค. If you're coming to Italy ๐ŸคŒ 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 ๐ŸŒพ. "Mmmh ma che bella"! ๐ŸŽป

The marathon and the half marathon will kick off at the Piazzale Olimpia, where the magnificent Marcantonio-Bentegodi Stadium ๐ŸŸ๏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! ๐ŸŒŠ This postcard-worthy scenery ๐Ÿ–ผ๏ธ will help you forget the fifteen kilometers you still have to cover before returning to the city center ๐ŸŒ‡. But the effort is worth it. With its medieval style, ancient houses, and Roman remains ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿซ, Verona is one of Italyโ€™s most beautiful cities ๐Ÿฅฐ. 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 ๐Ÿ›๏ธ. Meanwhile, the brave marathoners will be surrounded by abundant nature! ๐ŸŒณ This time, it's the charm of Italian suburbs that might steal your heart โค๏ธ. Stay focused ๐Ÿงญ: you need to make it back before reaching Lake Garda! ๐Ÿž๏ธ Remember your goal ๐ŸŽฏ: running! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏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 โฑ๏ธ and reunite with your friends at the finish line! ๐Ÿ

As you can see, these different routes will allow you to discover and flirt with the historical sites of Verona โšœ๏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 ๐Ÿซ€) to get to know and court Italy! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Get your ticket ๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ and come discover a unique race in a historic setting ๐Ÿ“š that will take you on a journey with every kilometer ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ. For all running enthusiasts, Verona awaits to surprise you... And make you sweat! ๐Ÿ’ฆ

4 reasons to join this race

Find YOUR Distance ๐Ÿซต
The great thing about the Verona Run Marathon is that there are 3 distances available for you. All the routes offer flat terrain with minimal turns.
