When, near the finish line, Prato della Valle opens up in front of you in all its magnificence, the emotion is indescribable. But it is not only the final stretch of the route that makes the Padova Marathon unique: it is its entire territory, background of the event.

You are not ready for the 42 kilometers yet, but you don’t want to miss the party? The Padova Half Marathon is the perfect race for you.

A proposal that, not surprisingly, immediately intercepted the favour of thousands of fans.

The best way to get in shape? Easy: go running, maybe with a goal in front.

A goal like the Stracittadine, the non-competitive races of 1, 5 and 10 kilometers, all with start and finish line in Prato della Valle.

Favorable elevation profile, ideal road surface, route closed to traffic, assistance offered from departure to arrival.

These are just some of the ingredients that over the years have contributed to make Padova a reference point for the Paralympic world.
