5,000 competitive athletes, 20,000 participants in the Stracittadine.
These are the numbers of the Padova Marathon, a leading event on the international running calendar, but also a great popular festival.
24th EDITION
The thrill of seeing Prato della Valle open up in front of you when you approach the finish line is beyond words. But the final stretch of the route is not the only thing that makes the Padova Marathon unique: it is its entire landscape, stage of the event.
The volcanic hills reclaimed by the monks and the suggestive entrance to Abano, where the thermal water has gushed out since prehistoric times. Then the way back through the most touristic part of the city, with the route passing by the Basilica of Saint Anthony.
In the heart of the “beautiful Padua, cradle of the arts“ sung by Shakespeare.
