Marathon de Turin

The Marathon de Turin is an annual November marathon held in Turin, the capital of Piedmont in northern Italy. The main race covers 42.195 km, beginning in Piazza Castello and concluding in the historic center near the Royal Palace. This city marathon offers a competitive race, a public non-competitive option, and shorter races on the same day, including a half marathon and a 5 km city run. The course departs central Turin, passing through metropolitan towns like Moncalieri, Nichelino, Beinasco, Orbassano, Rivalta, Rivoli, and Collegno before returning east towards Piazza Castello. Portions of the route feature baroque monuments, wide avenues, and the Po river. The FIDAL-certified course is considered fast. The competitive marathon requires Italian athletics federation registration and attracts international professional runners, particularly Kenyans and Ethiopians competing against Italian athletes. The event also includes public fun runs like the Stratorino and a children's kilometre race, with charity connections such as cancer research donations from the 5 km bibs.
