Sanremo’s December marathon and a course-update conflict
The route page now describes a start from the athletics track, an eastward section toward Arma, a return west toward the Ospedaletti boundary and another return to the track. Half-marathon runners finish after one circuit, while full-marathon runners repeat it. Learn the continuation after lap one so you do not follow a shorter-distance runner into the finish.
The same website still contains an older description extending toward San Stefano and San Lorenzo. Treat that as a conflict to resolve with the final map, rather than combining both descriptions into an invented route. Save the newest participant instructions and compare their start, turns and lap count with the GPX you intend to use.
The marathon rules identify Pian di Poma, while other promotional copy mentions the Casino area. Book your arrival around the current race instructions, not a general tourist landmark or a previous-edition photograph. If you are staying elsewhere in Sanremo, plan the journey to the track and a separate meeting place after finishing.
Entry eligibility and document requirements vary by the participant category described in the regulations. Read the option that applies to your registration and have the organizer resolve any uncertainty before paying. Do not assume a foreign tourist entry has the same competitive classification as another category. The six-hour finish limit is a support boundary, not a pacing recommendation: choose a realistic goal from your preparation and the final route, and check for any intermediate timing requirements. Use the December 2026 date for this edition; an annual pattern does not establish the next race date.
