Marathon de Vérone

Take the lead in Verona 🇮🇹, the city of star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet 💏.

If they sealed their love in this beautiful city, you might find yourself swept up in a fever of love 😍 (but this time everything ends well, I promise 😉). But don’t forget you’re here for the race! You’re more likely to find your side of the street than your soulmate! 😂 But fortunately, the Verona Marathon offers different races: a "Family Run" of 5 km for those who want to enjoy the city 😳, a beautiful half-marathon with its 21 km for the romantics 😘 and the fabulous marathon of 42 km for the enthusiasts 🤤. If you come to Italy 🤌 for the Verona Run Marathon, whether it’s just for the marathon or the half-marathon, you’ll get to run through the city center’s must-see streets, but also quieter, wilder spots 🌾. "Mmmh my beautiful" ! 🎻

The marathon as well as the half-marathon will start from the majestic Corso di Porta Nuova, just steps from the finish line set in the stunning backdrop of the Piazza Bra+. After the start, the course winds through flat streets of Verona. You’ll traverse narrow roads and the magnificent Castelvecchio Bridge before skirting one of Italy’s greatest rivers: the Adige ! 🌊 This postcard-perfect landscape 🖼️ will help forget the ~15 km you still have before you reach the town center centre-ville 🌇. Yet the effort will be worth it. With its medieval vibe, its old houses and its Roman ruins 👩‍🏫, Verona is one of Italy’s most beautiful cities 🥰. And if you run the half-marathon, it’ll soon be the end of your struggle dream. You’ll let the marathon runners surge ahead on the other side of the river and head straight to the Piazza Bra, right beside the impressive Arena Di Verona 🏛️. Meanwhile, marathoners will be in full green! 🌳 This time, it’s the charm of the Italian suburbs that might make you fall in love ❤️. But stay on track: you’ll need to turn around before you reach the Lake Garda ! 🏞️ Remember your goal 🎯: just finish the race! 🏃‍♂️ And yes, the water is a bit cold at this time of year ❄️. Arriving at the municipality of San Martino Buon Albergo, you’ll have about 10 km left to crush your time ⏱️ and join your friends on the finish line! 🏁

As you’ve seen, these different courses let you discover and flirt with Verona’s historic sites ⚜️. You’ve understood it’s a true cultural epic and romantic awaiting you and we hope you’ll have a brave heart (and a dial ready 🫀) to meet and court Italy! 😎 Grab your ticket 🎟️ and come experience a unique race in a historic setting 📚 that will take you on a journey kilometer after kilometer 🏃‍♀️.
