Lecce

Lecce sits in the flat Salento peninsula of Puglia with minimal elevation gain—the Maratona della Grecìa Salentina, a 42km out-and-back course, runs through olive groves and limestone terrain typical of the region. Running culture clusters around evening and night races like Corri Sotto le Stelle (5km), suited to the hot summers. Cyclists find the terrain gently rolling inland toward Salice Salentino and challenging coastal winds along the Adriatic approaches, making this a steady-paced endurance region rather than a climbing destination.
