10° Parma Marathon
Parma Marathon offers runners five distances during its October road-running event in Parma, Italy. The options include the full marathon, TRENTA2 (over 32 km), VENTI4 (over 24 km), La Vigorosa competitive 10K, and Desmila non-competitive 10K. PARMARATHON ASD organizes the race series. The setup is practical for a city race, providing chip timing, refreshment points, baggage storage, changing rooms, showers, event photos, and a goodie bag. The marathon route crosses Parma’s streets, squares, and central landmarks, with the organizer designing the course to highlight the city’s art, history, and food culture. La Vigorosa is the official competitive 10 km road race, featuring a homologated course and categories ranging from Allievi and Juniores to Promesse, Seniores, and Masters, open to both men and women. Side events are included in the weekend activities, meaning the race weekend is not limited to marathoners pursuing the full distance.
