R U N N I NRunning races in Italy: marathons, trails and more
44 upcoming running races across Italy, sorted by date and updated weekly - from the Rome Marathon past the Colosseum to Dolomite trail races and lakeside runs in the north.
Rome, and everything after
The Rome Marathon is one of running's great sightseeing tours - cobblestones, the Colosseum and a finish by the Fori Imperiali. Milan and Venice carry the other big city races, while Florence's autumn marathon threads the Renaissance centre.
Mountains and lakes
Northern Italy is trail country: the Dolomites and the Alps host some of Europe's most dramatic skyraces and ultras, and the lake districts offer flat, scenic road races in spring and autumn. Summer racing at low altitude is rare - Italians sensibly move uphill when it gets hot.
