Race guide

Sunday’s 09:00 marathon at Rotonda Lucio Battisti

Use the organizer’s Sunday programme for the marathon countdown. The April 16 festival opening is for race-village activities, not the full-distance start. Saturday’s shakeout and children’s run are also separate events; participation is optional and should fit your existing taper.

The published collection windows are Friday 15:00–19:30, Saturday 09:30–19:30 and Sunday 07:00–08:30 for the 42K and 16K. Prefer a slot that leaves time to resolve entry problems and prepare calmly. Check the final confirmation letter and required documents before deciding to rely on the brief Sunday window.

The shared village at Rotonda Lucio Battisti is a useful anchor for accommodation, supporter meetings and post-race departure. Identify the exact collection and start access points when the final site map is available. Being near the Grand Hotel does not guarantee that every road into the area remains open during the event.

Several distances are listed at 09:00. Learn the full-marathon markings and any separation points from the final course map; following a nearby runner is not a navigation plan. Keep the opening effort controlled around shared traffic, then settle into the pacing and fueling pattern already rehearsed in training.

The website includes older news posts alongside the 2027 schedule. Use the date-labelled programme and your own confirmation letter for logistics. An old announcement about sold-out entries, registration closure or race postponement should not be treated as the status of the current marathon.
