The Elba Island Marathon begins on the Mibelli Promenade in Marina di Campo, a seaside town on the Island of Elba. Asd Elba Runners organizes this road-running event, offering competitive races for the marathon, half marathon, and 10 km, alongside amateur options on the same day.
The marathon course departs Marina di Campo, travels through the town center, proceeds along the Costa del Sole on the island’s western side, and turns around in Chiessi before returning to the start. The race's setting is integral: participants encounter coastal vistas and the more tranquil, undeveloped terrain near Chiessi. Despite its small island status, the event draws an international field, with participants from 17 nationalities joining amateurs competing in the shorter distances.
