Marathon races near Russi

The Marathon de Ravenne is a race weekend in Ravenna, a city in Emilia-Romagna near Bologna known for its Byzantine mosaics. The route extends toward the Adriatic Sea. Participants can select a full marathon, half marathon, or 10 km race. The 10 km event is available in both timed and non-timed options. The event also features short, non-competitive runs like the Family Run, Dogs&Run, and Correndo Senza Frontiere. Most races are contained within Ravenna, but the marathon route reaches Punta Marina Terme. The course winds through Piazza del Popolo, Palazzo Merlato, the Basilica of San Vitale, the Basilica of San Francesco, Rocca Brancaleone Park, and numerous UNESCO World Heritage sites linked to the city’s Byzantine history. The event attracts competitive runners, casual participants, families, friends, and partners, with some shorter runs taking place before the main race day.
