“In my view, it’s the most beautiful city in the universe, by far.” The French writer Stendhal ✍️, madly in love with Italy, had no doubt: Naples is a city full of surprises and… eruptive! 🌋 A daring blend of chronic traffic jams, luminous churches and renovating palazziboutiques filled with a variety of treats, but also a polished seaside front by the Mediterranean 🌊, Naples is dominated by a giant: the Vesuvius 😍. It’s in this dream setting that the Naples Half Marathon (properly named the Napoli City Half Marathon). But that’s not all! In addition to the classic half-marathon, take on the challenge of the "Staffetta" relay of 21,0975 km 🤝. A group adventure that blends performance and team spirit 🏃‍♀️

Here, in this Campania city of contrasts, artists as prestigious as Boccace and Caravaggio ✍️, express their creativity. It’s here too, in the third city of Italy, you can sip a ristretto ☕️ with locals in the morning, wander through the steep lanesdiscover the cultural riches of the museums in the historic center, climb the Vomero hill to watch the sunset ignite the city and enjoy a Spritz at aperitivo time 🍸. A true dolce vita to savor during a weekend… 😎 Ideally in February, because that’s when the fastest bottes Speedway half marathon is scheduled! 👢

Created in 2016, the Naples half marathon is simply the race that holds both the national records for women and men at the distance 😮.

Along the sea, through the historic district, catching a glimpse of the Vesuvius in the background and, cherry on the cake olive on the pizza 🍕, try to beat your personal best ⏱️ : that’s the tempting program of the Naples Half Marathon!
