Vidor, Italy · Sunday 3 December 2023
The Prosecco Marathon takes place in Vidor, Italy, in the Conegliano Valdobbiadene region of northeastern Italy. This area is a UNESCO World Heritage site, famous for its rolling vineyard-covered hills and the production of Prosecco. The race winds through this wine country, passing through charming villages and local wineries that give the event its distinctive character. The setting combines rural Veneto landscapes with the agricultural heritage of one of Italy's most celebrated wine regions. The course is a trail marathon that moves across moderately hilly terrain, gaining roughly 378 meters over the distance. Runners will experience elevation changes throughout, moving between 130 and 259 meters above sea level as they navigate the region's slopes and valleys. The trail surface demands more from your legs than a road marathon would, and the constant rolling nature of the course means there are few truly flat sections to recover on. This is a race that rewards steady pacing and respect for the terrain rather than speed, with the landscape's beauty serving as compensation for the persistent climbing and descending.

1 Prosecco 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.
