Every runner, at least once in their life time, should experience the magic of running the Venicemarathon, where the fatigue of the 42K is dissolved in the face of the eternal beauty of this city that lies on water and where time seems to have stopped. The Wizz Air Venicemarathon, which will take place on Sunday 26th October, is one of the most fascinating marathons in the world. Each kilometer of its course is rich in art, history and culture, in a succession of architectural beauties that make it unique and incomparable. The start of the marathon takes place from the "queen" of the Venetian Villas, Villa Pisani in Stra, a mansion that over the centuries has hosted doges, kings and emperors. On the occasion of the marathon, it opens its gates to accommodate all the pre-race services up to the moment of entering the starting corrals. The first part of the route develops along the Riviera del Brenta with its numerous Venetian villas built in the eighteenth century by Venetian nobles. The show goes on when the athletes run along the water and canals in a unique context in the world, crossing also the 166-meter-long floating bridge, specially set up for the event, that gives the athletes the evocative sensation of running on water. The entrance into St. Mark's Square is also very impressive and very characteristic it is also the finish line set in Riva Sette Martiri, near the "Giardini della Biennale", which host the various pavilions of the biennial exhibition of Art and Architecture where all the post-race services are set up. If you want to live the magical atmosphere of the event, you can also decide to run the Venice 21K or the VM10K, that rejoin the marathon route up to Riva Sette Martiri in Venice. All athletes who run with tourist-sporting goals can compete in the not agonistic race and it’s enough to sign and upload the Venicemarathon liability waiver form. These and many other elements drive thousands of enthusiasts from all over the world every year to reach Venice, to run its marathon or a shorter distance and discover the charm of this magical city!
