Montepulciano Run

Montepulciano Run is a three-day running series held in Montepulciano, located in the Siena area of Tuscany, under the name Tra Vigne e Colline del Vino Nobile. Taking place in early October, it provides both competitive races and non-competitive options. This makes the same weekend suitable for runners aiming for a specific time, individuals preferring a relaxed walk, and companions looking for a trip centered around the event. The routes traverse the town and surrounding countryside of Montepulciano, featuring vineyards, olive groves, and proximity to the Val d'Orcia. The historic center incorporates Renaissance streets into the weekend's activities, while the nearby wine country offers access to cellars that range from architecturally notable sites to more secluded rural wineries. The competitive races include the 6.6 km Lumediluna Urbantrail and La Nobile Corta. This series is in its early stages, with its third edition scheduled.

Ecomaratona Del Chianti Classico

The Ecomaratona del Chianti Classico is a running event held in October in Castelnuovo Berardenga, located in Tuscany's Chianti Classico region. Participants can select from three competitive races and a relay, offering multiple distance options beyond a single set format. The weekend also highlights local food, wine, and the Tuscan countryside, extending beyond just the race finish. The courses traverse dirt roads and trails within the Castelnuovo Berardenga area, with the characteristic white roads and country paths contributing to the race's Chianti identity. Non-competitive Ecopasseggiate allow walkers to discover the same landscape at a relaxed pace, and tours of villas, castles, and local sites provide a cultural dimension. This combination of race choices, walks, and local exploration accommodates serious runners, casual participants, and visitors alike, while also benefiting charitable causes.

Marathon d'Arezzo

Marathon d'Arezzo is a road race held in Arezzo, a historic city in Tuscany, Italy, typically in late October. The event holds a World Athletics Label, though it is listed as not timed, suggesting it functions more as a city running festival than a strictly competitive marathon. Participants can select from various distances: 3.5 km, 10.6 km, the half marathon, and the full 42.2 km marathon. The course is situated within Arezzo, winding through the city’s historic streets, cultural sites, and monuments. It accommodates diverse participants, from short-distance runners and casual joggers to half-marathoners and full marathon competitors, all on the same program. Late October in Arezzo generally offers cool conditions, with average temperatures between 6°C and 14°C, often cloudy with some rain, making it suitable for wearing a jacket at the start.

San Francesco Marathon Assisi

The San Francesco Marathon Assisi is a road race held in Assisi, incorporating the city and its environs. It is included in the events for the Eighth Franciscan Centenary, offering competitive races for marathon, half marathon, and 10 km distances. The route crosses both city streets and roads outside the center. The event also features a non-competitive 10 km walk and the Vieni con me family run, a solidarity walk designed for those seeking a more accessible way to participate in the day.

10K San Francesco Marathon

The San Francesco Marathon begins in Assisi, the Umbrian hill town associated with Saint Francis, guiding runners through the nearby countryside on a late November race day. The primary event is a 42 km road marathon, accompanied by a half marathon, a competitive 10 km, and a non-competitive 10 km, catering to various runner types. The marathon course travels from Santa Maria to Spello and returns, combining urban stretches with roads outside Assisi. Participants encounter gentle inclines, ancient olive groves, and expansive vistas surrounding the city, presenting a challenging full distance that avoids the feel of a flat city circuit. The shorter races welcome newer runners and individuals of diverse ages, while the “Vieni con me” family run serves as a solidarity walk for families and supporters. The event aligns with the Eighth Franciscan Centenary commemorations, drawing its local character from both the running aspect and the Franciscan environment near Assisi.

Marathon de Florence

The Florence Marathon, a 42 km race held annually in late November since 1984, winds through Florence, Italy. It began with 462 participants and evolved into Italy's second-largest marathon, trailing only Rome. The field is primarily Italian, with significant contingents from France, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Orlando Pizzolato, a two-time New York Marathon champion, was present at the inaugural event. The marathon subsequently gained enough national recognition to host Italy's championship race. The present course commences at Lungarno Pecori Giraldi and concludes in Piazza Santa Croce. Runners pass through the historic center, including Piazza della Signoria, Ponte Vecchio, and the Basilica of Santa Maria del Fiore. A substantial portion of the race follows the Arno River, featuring bridge crossings and extended sections on the river's north bank. The route also extends to Cascine Park, the city's most extensive public park. Earlier iterations presented greater challenges, incorporating more turns, cobblestones, and one instance of a course approximately a kilometer short. However, the contemporary course is designed for a faster, record-eligible marathon.

XLII^ ESTRA Firenze Marathon

The Estra Firenze Marathon begins in Piazza del Duomo, Florence, at 08:30 for the 42.195 km race. This road race, held annually in late November, is the 42nd edition, placing it among the established Italian city marathons. The race's notable start is in Piazza del Duomo, beside Florence's cathedral, before proceeding onto city streets. FI496 organizes the event, with Fabio Burchi listed as the contact.

About Marathon races in Arezzo

Arezzo Training Notes

Arezzo hosts 9 Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals run the city by linking Prato Park, Porcinai Gardens, Pionta Park, and Pertini Park in Saione. Prato Park sits at the foot of the Medici Fortress, so even easy days can bite. Pionta Park gives runners a green, hilly area with scenic trails when Z2 needs some shape. The loop covers 53 km and gains +62 m. The loop covers 35 km and gains +1,010 m when you want a big day. Arezzo runners use the race calendar more than a named run club in this brief. Scalata al Castello and XXVII^ Maratonina Citta' di Arezzo are the anchor races.

Locals ride out from the station, through Via Guido Monaco, Via Roma, Corso Italia, and up to Piazza Grande. The Station - Historic Center route takes 10 minutes and gives a moderate climb. The Prato Ring circles the Medici Fortress and Prato Park for 3 km in about 20 minutes. The climbs sit around the historic center, Pionta Park, and the Medici Fortress. Ruscello to the River Arno runs mainly on gravel roads. The road suits a hardtail MTB or a gravel bike, and this is not a hardcore MTB trail. Street Survival Skatepark Bmx e Skate gives the city a BMX corner. Granfondo della Valdichiana and La Chianina Unconventional Bike Adventure anchor the riding year.

Locals get the best dry base miles in July, because July is the driest month. August brings the hottest training, so runners and riders go early and keep intervals short. Arezzo summers stay hot and dry, and the hills make every easy spin or steady run honest. Spring can be windy, so cyclists feel it more on exposed gravel and runners feel it on the climbs. January is the coldest month, but winter stays mild enough for steady Z2. November is the wettest month, so runners lean into parks and cyclists pick firmer roads when the gravel gets soft.
