The Marathon de Vérone begins at Piazzale Olimpia, near Stadio Marcantonio-Bentegodi, just outside central Verona in northern Italy.

The course utilizes minor roads, traces the Adige River, and crosses Verona’s historic core, interspersed with more secluded stretches outside the urban area. This course offers a blend of city roads, riverside paths, and open country, with Verona's association with Romeo and Juliet present but not dominating the experience.
