Catania

Catania sits on Sicily's east coast at the foot of Mount Etna, Europe's most active volcano at 3,357m. Running is dominated by the Maratona di Catania, which traverses the city's flat coastal streets and lava-field surroundings; the half-marathon and mountain races like the Etna Marathon Mtb push inland toward the volcano's slopes. Cyclists flock to the Granfondo Giro dell'Etna, a 120km circuit that climbs through vineyards and black lava rock, gaining 2,500m as it circles Etna's flanks—a punishing but iconic ride across volcanically sculpted terrain.
