Ravenna Marathon 2025

Just like the marathon runners, the half marathon participants start their race on Sunday morning through a stunning route in the heart of Ravenna 🏃‍♂️. The race begins in the Pala de André district, located right below the Canal Candiano, which connects the city to the Adriatic Sea 🌊. The first few kilometers are run along the banks of the canal before turning towards Teodorico Park. Ravenna boasts numerous historical monuments ✨. After passing through the park, you'll loop around the Ravenna Train Station 🚉 and head towards the Parco della Rocca Brancaleone, a popular spot for families 😉.

Your journey then takes you to the Piazza del Popolo and the Palazzo Merlato, another of the city's marvels. Next, you'll encounter the Basilica of San Vitale, dating back to the 6th century, and the Neonian Baptistery, renowned for its Byzantine mosaics. Just before reaching the Basilica of San Francesco, the pack will pass by the tomb of Dante Alighieri, one of Italy's most legendary writers 📚. After this point, the half marathon diverges from the marathon course: the finish line is near the public gardens of Ravenna, where you can also find the Loggetta Lombardesca, another of the city's treasures 🏁.

For the participants of the 10 km run, the race will take you through the historic center of the city of Ravenna 📍. The start line is at Pala de André, right by the Canal Candiano. The first few kilometers are along the canal banks before the route veers towards Parco Teodorico, which features an iconic statue of a 5th-century Ostrogoth king 👑, a significant figure for the city. Indeed, your path is lined with historical landmarks 🌟. You will then move on to Parco della Rocca Brancaleone. You'll pass close to the Arian Baptistery, just before reaching the Piazza del Popolo and the Palazzo Merlato, the town hall of Ravenna. The Neonian Baptistery, famous for its Byzantine mosaics, might be a place you'll want to revisit after the race... Just before reaching the Basilica of San Francesco, the pack will pass near the tomb of Dante Alighieri, the legendary writer of Italian literature 📕. The finish line is near the public gardens of Ravenna, where you'll find the Loggetta Lombardesca, another of the city's treasures 🏁.

A 3 km route has been specifically designed for participants with disabilities 👨‍🦯‍➡️.
