On March 22 you will have the possibility to live an ideal combination of athletic challenges and nice weekend of sight-seeing: Rome Marathon.

Held annually in March, when the weather is fit to jogging and the herds of tourists haven’t arrived yet, Rome Marathon attracts more and more runners every year. The start line is placed in front of the Coliseum, and going on the course is a veritable festival of magnificent views.



Among other things, you will run past the the Trevi Fountain, Saint Peter’s, Piazza Navona, the Spanish Steps and through a lot of narrow streets in the old part of the city.

It is suggestive also for who want to have a short experience because 15 minutes after the bold marathoners 45,000 children, adults and seniors begin the non-competitive Stracittadina Fun Run. The 4 km course starts near the Coliseum and cruises around the ancient city’s streets before finishing outside of Domus Aurea – the ruins of emperor Nero’s Golden House.
