Held annually in the autumn in the city of Verona, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of northern Italy's most popular tourist destinations, the Verona Run Marathon offers three race distances:

  • ca. 8k non-competitive family run
  • 21k half marathon
  • 42k marathon

Over the years, the route has been changed several times.

In 2025, the marathon and the half marathon both began at the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi stadium in the western part of the city.

The finish line was on Piazza Bra, a spacious square that is home to the Arena di Verona, the third-largest of all Roman amphitheatres.

Participants ran through urban and rural areas, along the Adige river and through Verona's beautiful historic centre.

The route was mainly flat with a difference of 24 metres between the lowest and the highest point on the course.

The 2026 course will be published on time on the official event website (see link below).
