About the event

Experience the world-famous Venice Marathon, a road race navigated along landmarks such as Ponte della Libertà and Parco San Giuliano. With a limit of 8,000 participants, this flat and fast course is known for its 14 bridges over Venice's canals and 3-4 inclines between the 25th and 35th kilometer. As one of few marathons with an IAAF Silver Label, it continues to captivate runners and the public alike. Get a glimpse into the city with the pre-marathon events such as the unveiling of Exposport and the Family Run, allowing children and young people to join. Make sure to take advantage of free entrance to Villa Pisani, the grandiose palace which hosted kings and emperors in the past, in addition to a discount for your family and friends. Finally, the park of the Villa will be open to all participants on race-day morning, providing the perfect scenery to warm up and get ready for the marathon!

Venice Marathon

Running
42.195 km
The race starts in Stra, on the mainland, 25 km west of the city of Doges. For the first part of the race, you will run along the Riviera del Brenta where you'll see the magnificent vacation villas the Venetian aristocracy built during the 18th century.
You'll then cross the 4 km long Liberty Bridge to arrive in Venice's Port Area. The race of the course is run in the city center. You'll cross the Grand Canal on a floating pontoon bridge, pass by Piazza San Marco and the Palazzo Ducale, before reaching the finish line located in Riva Sette Martiri.


The course is quite flat but there are a few short climbs between the 25th and 35th km.

Alegre combinación de rutas naturales, históricas y culturales.

The race, despite taking place in a beautiful location, had only a few positive aspects. The pacemakers started together, which was a disadvantage, as there were no time intervals, making it challenging to adjust the pace to individual runners' needs. Additionally, the absence of time zones at the start, only one water station on a hot day, and the crowd at the beginning made the first kilometer of the race uncomfortable. The race organization left much to be desired, and the price of 30 euros for a single photo from the organizer was excessive.

La mia prima maratona, indimenticabile! Percorso facile con una fine più insidiosa contando tutti i ponti a partire da quello del parco di San Giuliano, e le vie più strette a Venezia... Però poter correre a Venezia è un emozione pazzesca! Molto consigliata

The organisation is impressive with notably free coaches to take us from Venice to the starting line. Refreshments were many and always well provided for.

I knew about the bridges but there are not all of them cute Venice bridges, two of them are high (20m+) and quite long too .but the last two miles are worth the whole effort.

The run is well organized and has easy access to the starting point with free buses taking you there. Flat course besides three parts, 100 m long, with uphill running and the last 14 bridges to cross for the final 3 km. Challenging but you get extra energy by running in Piazza S. Marco half way and being lifted by the crowd's cheering. Water every 5 km and after 20 km you have energy drinks. Feedback to organisers: More toilets available right before the starting line would be appreciated as the line was long. If you want to have a great experience, besides the running, Venezia is for sure a place you want to visit before/after the run. The locals are friendly, patient and warm.

Great course and challenging from 30 km.

Beautiful experience, with every step run 🏃‍♀️ you enjoy in spectacular atmosphere which this town, tourists end citizens gives every one participant. Yes, there are bridges, and it’s difficult but with this especially confidence from all, you fly 🥰

Very nice distance from Venice Mestre until Bieanale garden

Amazing experience, best atmosphere at a marathon so far. Not as easy as the flat course would make you think but still a most for all marathon enthusiasts.
