Palermo

Palermo's running routes hug the coast and climb into the surrounding hills—the Palermo International Half Marathon follows the seafront promenade along the Tyrrhenian Sea, while the flatter 10K course stays close to the city centre. Cyclists face a steep learning curve: the city sits at sea level but rises sharply into the Monte Pellegrino massif and the Madonie Mountains to the south, offering intense 500–800m climbs within 20km. Heat and narrow medieval streets define summer running; autumn and winter are the serious training months here.
