13 Maratona di San Valentino

This Valentine's Day trail marathon in Terni takes you across moderately hilly terrain with steady elevation changes that will test your legs without crushing them, rising and falling between 122 and 264 meters over the 42.2 kilometers. The course sits entirely on trail surface, which means you'll want proper trail shoes and should expect conditions that vary with Italian winter weather. With 258 meters of total elevation gain spread across a full marathon distance, you're looking at a race that demands respect for pacing and footwork rather than just aerobic fitness. Organized by Amatori Podistica Terni, a running club established in 1976, this is a well-rooted local event in central Italy that attracts runners seeking something different from road marathons. If you prefer trail running with rolling rather than punishing climbs and don't mind the unpredictability of winter conditions in February, this race offers a solid alternative to the standard spring marathon circuit.
