One of the most picturesque marathons in the world, held every spring in March. The course runs straight through the historic center of Rome - starting at the Colosseum, then passing the Pantheon, Piazza Navona and the Vatican, before finishing at the Circus Maximus in the shadow of ancient ruins. Tens of thousands of runners from around the world take the start line, for whom the race is a chance to see over two thousand years of history from the perspective of a running course. The race is part of the European Marathon Classics and stands out for its unique blend of athletic challenge and a journey through one of the world's most iconic cities.
