Year after year\, thousands of sportspeople and enthusiasts from all over the world come to participate in this classic race on the last Sunday in November. This great event in Florence has increased immeasurably recently so much so that we expect more than 10.000 participants in 2018 \nThis extraordinary increase in participation also testifies to the constant attention given to the organization of the race. Florence Marathon is now the second Italian marathon (after Rome)\, and among the 20 most important marathons in the world. The route takes you by all those landmarks of singular beauty that have made Florence famous worldwide: views over the enchanting hills and countryside\, and passing right by the Cathedral Square\, Piazza della Signoria\, Ponte Vecchio (to mention only just a few of historical importance)\, before entering the majestic Piazza Duomo.  \nThe road is entirely asphalted and ramp-free\, except for the short\, slightly sloping stretch of road at the start\, and these characteristics make it a particularly fast route appreciated by runners. \nKITS\nAthletes enrolled in the Marathon will receive an official kit containing ASICS technical material and other promotional materials.

We advise you to put on old clothes (that can be discarded before the start) on top of those in which you will run.
