Udine
Basiliano, Italy · Sunday 4 May 2025
TrailFull Marathon
The marathon takes place in Basiliano, a small comune in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region of northeastern Italy, near Gorizia. The area is characterized by the flat agricultural plains and gentle terrain typical of the Friuli plain, where the landscape transitions between lowland farmland and the foothills that lead toward the Julian Alps. This is working countryside rather than a resort destination, offering an authentic feel of rural Italy without the tourist infrastructure of more well-known race locations. The course itself is a trail marathon across flat to gently rolling terrain that rarely demands much climbing. With just 154 meters of elevation gain spread across the full distance and never rising above 85 meters above sea level, runners should expect a predominantly runnable route without significant hills to break rhythm. The trails wind through the local landscape at a modest elevation, making this the kind of course where fitness and pacing matter more than technical skill or mountain endurance. It's the sort of race where steady legs and mental consistency pay off more than explosive power.

Surface Type: Trail
Udine 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.
