The race

The magnificent course of the Florence Marathon, also known as the Firenze Marathon, is rich in ancient history, art and culture. This is one of the reasons why this run is considered one of the most beautiful marathons in Italy. Sights such as the Ponte Vecchio and the Piazza della Signoria are part of the Florence Marathon route. The course is largely asphalted and is suitable for a fast run. Supported by the enthusiastic crowd of spectators, which makes it a real celebration on the day of the marathon, the runners are heading for the beautiful finish in the world-famous Piazza Duomo, the heart of the city.

About Florence

A walk through Florence is like a walk through a living painting. The Italian city radiates style and elegance, for example through beautiful buildings and monuments that can be found in the city. Known as the cultural capital and also the birthplace of the Renaissance, traces of this era can be found all over the city. Just think, for example, of Michelangelo's works of art, the beautiful palaces and of course the characteristic Ponto Vecchio. Enjoy the enchanting squares and streets of Florence and imagine that you have travelled back in time.
