This is a particularly tough marathon.

Participants need to show great determination, endurance and perseverance if they want to reach their goal.

The route to success is extremely challenging, and the weather conditions may not be the best. The race takes place rain or shine.

But it's well worth the effort to take part in this international marathon, which is held simultaneously in many different countries around the world.

There are invaluable prizes to win: freedom and democracy, justice, fairness and respect, education, fitness, friends, love, fun, and more!

You don't need a ‘Green Pass’ for this event. You don't even need to register! And there are no registration fees!

It is possible to take part as an individual or as a team.

There is no time limit to complete the race.

It's a long way to the finish, so it might help to learn this short song to stay focused.

People all over Italy sing it these days.

La gente come noi non molla mai

People like us never give up
