Palermo International Half Marathon

The XIII Palermo International Half Marathon is a 21.0975 km road race in Palermo, Sicily, scheduled for October. The name indicates a standard half marathon rather than a shorter city run, and the setting is Italy’s largest island city, with the race listed on Italian road-running calendars and local race-entry platforms. The published facts do not give a detailed route, so the likely scenario is runners covering the half-marathon distance on roads in Palermo. The city has a history with half marathons beyond this race, having once hosted the World Athletics Half Marathon Championships, which drew 192 athletes from 48 nations. That connection provides context: Palermo has previously staged the distance at world-championship level.
