The same route as in 2023 is confirmed, with a single lap starting in front of the Bentegodi Stadium in Verona, from where the runners will head towards the north-west of the city until crossing the Chievo Dam, from where they will head towards Parona, towards km 11. From here the very fast return along the Lungadige, a ride all without bends and slightly downhill until the 18 km mark, before crossing the Adige from Ponte della Vittoria and plunging into the historic centre.


Marathon runners and athletes registered for the half marathon will tackle the first 20km together, conquering the historic city centre and passing Verona’s most famous monuments such as the Basilica of St. Anastasia and Piazza delle Erbe with the famous Torre dei Lamberti.

Those who will face ‘only’ the 21.097 km will go on to the finish line in Piazza Bra right in front of the Arena, while the marathon runners will go on to embrace the entire city of Verona in the eastern part , touching also the municipality of San Martino Buon Albergo, and then return towards the centre via Porta Vescovo and also arrive in Piazza Bra in front of the Arena.
