Palermo

Palermo's running scene centres on flat coastal routes and the seafront promenade stretching toward Mondello Beach, where the Palermo International Half Marathon and local 10K events follow the Tyrrhenian shoreline. Cyclists face steep climbs immediately inland—the Madonie Mountains rise within 20km to the south with 1000m+ elevation gain on narrow roads through villages like Monreale, while flatter spins trace the Conca d'Oro valley or loop along the coast toward Cefalù. The heat and humidity from May onwards demand early morning training, and winter months offer the most pleasant conditions for longer efforts.
