About this race
The 13th "Erymanthian Boar" race is a competitive road race in Policoro, a maritime city in southern Italy. It takes place in December and offers three distances: a half marathon of 21.0975 km, plus shorter 10 km and 10.8 km options for participants seeking a timed effort without the full half marathon distance.
The course runs through the streets of Policoro, with road-running terrain from the start. The name references classical mythology: the Erymanthian Boar was one of Hercules' twelve labors, lending the race a distinct, playful identity compared to a standard city half marathon. December conditions can be cold and damp, with average precipitation around 40 mm and a possibility of snow, making this a race for those prepared for winter weather and the clock.
