20 Veronamarathon - Cangrande Half Marathon - Last10Km
Verona, Italy · Thursday 31 December 2026
The Verona Marathon takes runners through one of Italy's most historically rich cities in the Veneto region. Verona sits along the Adige River in northern Italy, surrounded by the rolling landscape that defines this part of the Po Valley. The race itself is the 25th edition of this long-running event, organised by G.A.A.C. 2007 Veronamarathon and rooted in the local running community. December racing here means cold conditions and potentially wet weather, so runners should prepare for winter running in a region where the climate can be unpredictable. The course is a trail marathon that stays largely flat with gentle rolling sections, keeping elevation changes minimal throughout the 42.2 kilometre distance. Runners will move between 50 and 73 metres above sea level, which means there are no significant climbs to worry about, just the kind of subtle undulation that can either feel easy or wear on your legs depending on the day. The trail surface offers softer ground than road running, which can be both a blessing for joint impact and a challenge if conditions are wet. This is a course for steady pacing and consistency rather than dramatic tempo changes.
