Maratona di Ravenna

Taking place in November 2024 in Ravenna, Italy, this full marathon covers 42.2 kilometers on trail terrain with minimal elevation change, making it a relatively flat and accessible route through the city's historic landscape. The course rolls gently with less than 50 meters of total gain, so you won't face significant climbing but should still prepare for the technical demands of trail running. Beyond the competitive 42K race, organizers offer a half marathon and 10K option, plus family-friendly events and social runs, so there's something for various fitness levels. The race starts at 9:15 AM from Pala de Andre on Viale Europa, with an expo and other logistics happening in the days leading up to the event. If you're looking for a relatively low-key marathon that takes you through an Italian city with significant historical character rather than a high-pressure competitive circuit, this fits that bill.
