The Padova Marathon 2018 - Race Connections

Padova Marathon 2018

Padova Marathon will start from the ‘Euganeo Stadium’ in Padua. It follows the picturesque route crossing the towns of Rubano, Selvazzano Dentro and Teolo immersed in the breath-taking Euganean Hills and the renowned thermal area in Abano Terme, just outside of Padova.

Abano Terme is the starting line of the half-marathon, which then follows the same route as the marathon.

All runners approaching the finish line in Prato della Valle will be amazed by the stunning beauty of the inner city. The entrance to the historical city is designed so that the runners will get to see the most beautiful parts of the city: passing by Piazza dei Signori, Piazza della Frutta, Caffè Pedrocchi, Palazzo del Bo and the Basilica of S.
