Course
Start on Via Baltera in Riva del Garda, next to the PalaFiere. The half runs through Riva on Via Zandonai and Viale Rovereto, crosses the Sarca plain towards Linfano and climbs to Arco via Chiarano and Mogno; the return mostly follows the cycle paths along the Sarca river to the lake and the finish at the Sabbioni beach, about 150 metres from the Stadio Benacense.
The course is on asphalt without major climbs and is not certified. Aid stations at km 5, 10 and 15 and a take-away at the finish; there is a cut-off at km 12 after 2 hours of racing (12:15). The 10K starts from the same place, passes Viale Rovereto and Torbole and also finishes at the Sabbioni, with an aid station at km 5. The official GPS track is on the website.
