Naples Marathon 2026

The Naples Marathon begins and ends in Piazza del Plebiscito, a major public square in Naples, Italy. This October road race offers multiple participation options: a full marathon, a half marathon, a 12.4 km non-timed run, and shorter 5 or 7 km gastronomic walks. The course features long, straight sections with minimal elevation change, emphasizing rhythm over climbing. It winds through the seafront and historic district, with Mount Vesuvius offering a scenic backdrop. The event hosts fewer than 3,000 participants in its most recent edition. Following tradition, Neapolitan pizza is served post-race.
