The thrill of seeing Prato della Valle open up in front of you when you approach the finish line is beyond words. But the final stretch of the route is not the only thing that makes the Padova Marathon unique: it is its entire landscape, stage of the event.

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

A challange that, unsurprisingly, was immediatly accepted by thousands of running enthusiasts.

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

A goal like the Stracittadine, the non-competitive races of 1, 5 and 10 kilometers, all starting and finishing in Prato della Valle.

Favourable elevation profile, ideal road surface, car-free route, aid from start to finish.

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