Rocca di Papa周辺のHalf Marathonレース

The Mezza Maratona dei Castelli Romani is a 21.097 km half marathon held in Castel Gandolfo, located near Rome within the Castelli Romani region. The race commences at 09:00, with its course focused around Lake Castel Gandolfo. The surrounding Alban Hills provide a distinct atmosphere compared to a typical city road race. The route is presented as a run through the hills and lakes of the Castelli Romani, meaning the setting is as significant to its appeal as the race distance. It is suitable for runners seeking a traditional half marathon distance in a smaller Italian setting, rather than a large metropolitan event.

The Wizz Air Rome Half Marathon covers 21.0975 km through central Rome each October. Now in its second edition, it already attracts a large field. RomaOstia and RCS Sports & Events organize the race, with the village located at Eataly Roma Ostiense. Here, runners pick up bibs and visit sponsor stands prior to race day. The event draws amateur half-marathoners, international participants, and a strong elite field, and is promoted as Italy’s largest half marathon by participation. The course highlights Rome itself. Runners pass the Colosseum, Circus Maximus, the Baths of Caracalla, Piazza Navona, and other historic streets. Over 11,000 international runners have registered, and one edition saw 17,000 total entrants, marking it as a mass event. The organizers use the phrase “Run through Eternity,” which suits the route well, as the landmarks are integral to the half-marathon course, not mere side attractions.

The Fiumicino Half Marathon covers 21.0975 km on roads in Fiumicino, a coastal town near Rome.
