Montepulciano Run
FRI OCT 2
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.
Est! Est!! Est!!! Marathon
SUN OCT 11
The Est! Est!! Est!!! Marathon is a mountain bike marathon held in Montefiascone, Viterbo province, Lazio. It takes place near the end of the Italian granfondo season. The name derives from the town’s well-known Est! Est!! Est!!! wine. The race is a challenging off-road course; the main route covers 52 km with approximately 1,700 meters of elevation gain. After numerous editions held in summer, it shifted to late autumn, attracting a larger late-season field. A recent edition saw over 200 participants. The marathon is closely linked to the regional cycling calendar. It concludes the Maremma Tosco-Laziale circuit and contributes to the New Marathon Lazio series, drawing participants aiming for series standings and those seeking a final major race before winter. The Maremma Tosco-Laziale circuit originated at the turn of the century, and the Montefiascone race has developed alongside it for about twenty years. The event also features summer preview races for younger cyclists, fostering a broader club atmosphere beyond just the main marathon participants.
Ecomaratona Del Chianti Classico
FRI OCT 16
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
SUN OCT 25
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
SAT NOV 21
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
SUN NOV 22
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.

About Marathon races in Perugia

Perugia Training Notes

Perugia hosts 7 Marathon races in 2026 within 80 km of the city centre — upcoming dates, recurring series, and other races nearby, all in one place.

Locals keep running simple in Perugia. You can run 3 km on the flat near the football stadium. Giardini del Frontone gives you a 400 m perimeter when you want short repeats. Parco Santa Margherita gives you wooded paths close to the centre. Parco Santa Margherita gives you wooded paths close to the centre and about 1 km when you just need a few clean kilometres. N. Perugia and Gryphus sit in the local club mix. Grifonissima and Perugia Jazz Half Marathon are the anchor races.

Riders leave Perugia from a city that sits on a hill. The route covers 65 km with 119 m of gain on bike paths, dirt roads, and paved roads. Le Vie del Bike points you toward bigger Umbrian days, from the Tuscany border to Gubbio. Monte Peglia gives Umbria its highest climb at around 800 metres. Gubbio gives you streets with a gradient of 15% or more. Riders can get into a nice climbing rhythm here. N. Perugia and Gryphus keep the local club names around the scene.

Mornings around 7 or 8 AM suit runners who want cooler air and fewer people around. Evenings around 5 or 6 PM suit runners who like that golden Perugia light before sunset. Summer brings warm to hot and humid days, so locals move intervals early and keep longer Z2 work out of the heavy heat. Cyclists use the same rule and save Lake Trasimeno Ring Trail or Le Vie del Bike days for cleaner hours. Winter brings cold conditions and occasional snowfall. Runners shift toward steadier town loops, and riders pick their road days with more care.
