Course
Start in Viale Roma and finish in the same area, next to the Sentierone, in the heart of the lower town. According to the official map (2025 edition; the 2027 course is awaiting approval) the half marathon draws a series of loops through the lower town, east towards the districts at the foot of the hills and west along a long straight, without climbing to the upper town.
The course is on asphalt and fast: 94 m of elevation gain for the 21 km and 57 m for the 10 km. Drink stations roughly at km 5, 10, 15 and 20 on the half and at km 5 on the 10 km, plus a final refreshment point at the finish.
