Brescia, Italy · Sunday 14 March 2027
The 25th edition of this Brescia marathon takes place on 14 March 2027 on a flat to gently rolling trail course that stays between 121 and 179 metres elevation, making it a reasonable outing for most runners. The race sold out its online registration but day-of bibs may be available on race morning at Piazza Vittoria, along with spots in the shorter 10km distances and a family walking option. This is a well-established Italian marathon with cultural and community ties to Brescia, drawing enough interest year after year to fill capacity quickly. If you're considering it, treat it as a late-winter European option on a relatively modest course where you can focus on steady running without fighting big hills.

Brescia Art Marathon is a trail race, meaning the course includes unpaved surfaces such as dirt, gravel, or forest paths. Trail surfaces are inherently slower than road courses due to uneven footing, technical sections, and often steeper gradients. Trail-specific shoes with good grip are recommended, and runners should expect a finish time 10-20% slower than their equivalent road marathon time.
Our difficulty rating for Brescia Art Marathon is calculated using a model that combines elevation gain, temperature impact, and surface type. Use the difficulty calculator above to enter your target finish time and see exactly how many minutes this course would add or subtract compared to a perfectly flat, cool, road-based marathon. Faster runners and slower runners are affected differently by the same course conditions, so the difficulty is personalised to your pace.
