25th Venice Marathon
Venice marathon is held every year on the fourth Sunday of October.
Start time 09:15 am - Wheelchairs start
09:20 am - Marathon start
Distance 42.195 kilometers / 26.224 miles
Distance measured and certified by AIMS/IAAF.
There is no half marathon race. The race is only on the full marathon distance.
Course overview Start is located in Stra (a small country town about 25 km west of Venice), at the beginning of “Riviera del Brenta”, the beautiful riverside area where rich and noble Venetians built their vacation mansions in the 18th century.
The finish is in the historic centre of Venice, on the embankment named Riva Sette Martiri, in a scenic position facing the lagoon.
The first half of the race develops in a typical countryside landscape, following the course of the river in the “Riviera del Brenta”.
The marathon goes through the centre of Marghera and Mestre (i.e. the boroughs of the city of Venice located on the mainland), runs for 3 kilometers inside San Giuliano’s Park (the largest urban green area in Europe) and gets to Venice via the Liberty Bridge (a flat and straight bridge long just a little less than 4 kilometers).
The race proceeds in the Venice port area and reaches the city centre for the last kilometers, which are simply unique.
Marathoners run next to the Giudecca Canal to Punta della Dogana, where they cross the Grand Canal on a pontoon bridge, especially built for the race.
Passing by Piazza San Marco and the Palazzo Ducale, the marathon route gets to the finish line located in Riva Sette Martiri.
Course difficulty The Venicemarathon course is basically flat and fast. There are just a few difficulties, represented by 3-4 short slopes (100 meters or so) between the 25th and 35th kilometer.
In the final part of the marathon route (last 3 kilometers), runners will face 14 little bridges over Venice’s canals. Wooden ramps are put in place to prevent athletes from running on the steps.
There is no cobblestone on the course (apart from the last 100 meters before the finish line). In the final 3 kilometres the running surface will be mainly made of large rectangular stone slabs.
The course is entirely closed to traffic and marked every kilometer.
Course highlights Riviera del Brenta, with several 18th century mansions just next to the course (in particular the impressive “Villa Pisani” next to the marathon start line).
Zattere, a 2-km-long embankment next to the Giudecca Canal, where athletes run close to the water.
Pontoon Bridge over Grand Canal, a 170-meters-long floating bridge which is built the night before the marathon and dismantled the night after.
St. Mark’s Square and Palazzo Ducale, renowned Venice landmarks.
Finish line in Riva Sette Martiri, in the picturesque waterfront of St. Mark’s Basin.
Maximum times Maximum time - half marathon: 2h50'
Maximum time - km 30: 3h55'
Maximum time - finish: 6h00'
After these times the organization cannot guarantee complete closing of the race course.
Support stations Refreshement stations with water and sports drink are available on the course every 5 kilometers starting from km 5. Fruit and cookies will be available from km 20.
Runners will find 2 personal sponges in the race packet. They should carry the sponges with them during the race and soak the in the fresh water tanks available every 5 km, starting from km 7.5. Additional sponges will be available in the starting area, but not along the course.
For withdrawn competitors pick-up buses are available to carry athletes to the first-aid stations (placed at km 23,5 and 29).
Timing Race timing will be managed by Timing Data Service.
Thanks to the chip applied to the back of athlete's bib number, sensors will record the actual time in which each runner finishes the race.
Intermediate times will be also recorded at the km:
5, 10, 15, 21.097 (half marathon), 25, 30, 35 and 40.
Times and rankings will be available in real time during the race on the web site www.venicemarathon.it. Moreover, we will provide a Live Tracking System that enables your family and friends to check your position on the course during the race, though our website.
