Udine

Udine lies in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region where the Torre and Natisone rivers cut through low, rolling hills—ideal terrain for both disciplines. Runners use the flat city streets for the Maratonina Città di Udine half-marathon, while cyclists tackle the Gran Fondo Corsa per Haiti, which climbs into the verdant valleys of the Torre and Natisone with sustained 300–400m elevation gains. The region's proximity to the Prealps means serious cyclists can push 50–80km northeast to find longer climbs, though the local fondo events showcase the accessible mid-distance riding that defines the Friuli cycling calendar.
