Marina di Campo and the ferry connection
The official site announces May 9, 2027 and identifies Marina di Campo as the common start and finish town. The seafront start and town-hall finish are useful planning anchors, but they do not replace the final distance-specific map. Check that your entry and route download both say full marathon rather than the half marathon or 10 km.
The island setting makes the ferry schedule part of race logistics. Allow for travel between the arrival port and Marina di Campo, and avoid making race morning depend on a single tight connection. After the race, include time to leave the finish, collect belongings and reach the ferry rather than calculating the return from an optimistic finishing time alone.
The organizer links a travel partner offering ferry and accommodation packages. Its page explains that the cost changes with the sailing, vehicle choice, accommodation type and length of stay. Compare the actual package terms for your group rather than treating an advertised example price as a guaranteed current quote.
The site also links route descriptions, the Marathon Village map and an FAQ. Use those materials to confirm the full course, collection arrangements and any cutoffs when the 2027 guide is complete. Scenic coastal descriptions do not establish the amount of climbing or the race-week weather; choose training and equipment from the published profile and current conditions.
