This is probably the most beautiful place for road half-marathon!
The rouse is well prepared, and well marked, with signs every kilometre.
But, first of all, an awesome route, round mountains, a clifftop with a castle, a finish line on the beach!

Amazing weather, shining sheet of the lake and hovering live spirit of sport.
There are places to fall in love at first sight and you want to come back every year.

Italy is a great place for the end of the running season! Sun, pizza, pasta, espresso, cappuccino, melons.

Zuza

Krystyna

For those moments you can do a lot!
I devoted twelve weeks, and with mobile work and quite big family, it was a big challenge!
But… the moment on the finish line makes me up everything!

More questions?

1. Do I need a medical certificate??

If you want to run a half marathon – YES.
For 10 km you don’t need it.
A form is on the official website. Just download it and give it to your doctor.
Then, upload it to the system and take the original with you when collecting the race bib.

2. What about the weather?

We wish ourselves the best weather, however, we don’t have any impact here.
The last few years show that we can expect 10-12 °C temperature.
It could be a sunny day (like in 2023 and 2024) or with little rain (2018, 2021).

We ran there four times and were always short-dressed.

3. How to get there?

4. Tell me more about accommodation, please?

The region is extremely popular during the summer. November is after the holidays, so there will be plenty of free rooms and places to stay. You can search in towns like: Riva del Garda, Arco, Torbole.

We are cooperating with a well-known agent, who prepared a special offer for runners and their families. Check the official website or ask privately.
