Chiugiana周辺のMarathonレース

Montepulciano Run is a three-day running series held in Montepulciano, located in the Siena area of Tuscany, under the name Tra Vigne e Colline del Vino Nobile. Taking place in early October, it provides both competitive races and non-competitive options. This makes the same weekend suitable for runners aiming for a specific time, individuals preferring a relaxed walk, and companions looking for a trip centered around the event. The routes traverse the town and surrounding countryside of Montepulciano, featuring vineyards, olive groves, and proximity to the Val d'Orcia. The historic center incorporates Renaissance streets into the weekend's activities, while the nearby wine country offers access to cellars that range from architecturally notable sites to more secluded rural wineries. The competitive races include the 6.6 km Lumediluna Urbantrail and La Nobile Corta. This series is in its early stages, with its third edition scheduled.

The San Francesco Marathon Assisi is a road race held in Assisi, incorporating the city and its environs. It is included in the events for the Eighth Franciscan Centenary, offering competitive races for marathon, half marathon, and 10 km distances. The route crosses both city streets and roads outside the center. The event also features a non-competitive 10 km walk and the Vieni con me family run, a solidarity walk designed for those seeking a more accessible way to participate in the day.

The San Francesco Marathon begins in Assisi, the Umbrian hill town associated with Saint Francis, guiding runners through the nearby countryside on a late November race day. The primary event is a 42 km road marathon, accompanied by a half marathon, a competitive 10 km, and a non-competitive 10 km, catering to various runner types. The marathon course travels from Santa Maria to Spello and returns, combining urban stretches with roads outside Assisi. Participants encounter gentle inclines, ancient olive groves, and expansive vistas surrounding the city, presenting a challenging full distance that avoids the feel of a flat city circuit. The shorter races welcome newer runners and individuals of diverse ages, while the “Vieni con me” family run serves as a solidarity walk for families and supporters. The event aligns with the Eighth Franciscan Centenary commemorations, drawing its local character from both the running aspect and the Franciscan environment near Assisi.
