The race
The Mugello Marathon presents itself as Italy's oldest marathon: in 2026 it reached its 52nd edition, held in memory of Roberto Gherardi, Franco Sargenti and Mario Boretti. It is organised by A.S.D. Maratona Mugello with the municipality of Borgo San Lorenzo, near Florence, and is part of the FIDAL national calendar.
By tradition, start and finish are in Piazza Dante in Borgo San Lorenzo. The certified course crosses the Mugello valley among hills of olive groves and vineyards and touches Vicchio, San Piero a Sieve, Scarperia and the stretch alongside the Mugello Circuit. The Mezza Mugello Marathon half marathon is run on the same day.
For 2027 entries are open on ENDU with the date 26 September 2027; the new rules, times and fees are not yet on the official website.
