Venice Marathon during 2008

The Venice Marathon (Template:Langx) (stylized as Venicemarathon) is a marathon road race that has been held each year in Venice since 1986, usually in October. The course starts in Stra and passes through Mestre, Template:Ill, and Ponte della Libertà before ending at Template:Ill in Venice. The marathon is categorized as a Bronze Label Road Race by World Athletics.[1]

History

The marathon was first held on Template:Dts, with 713 athletes.[2] The course began in Stra and ended at Campo Santi Apostoli in Cannaregio.[3]

The race had previously been sponsored by Casino di Venezia (Venice Casino), and was known as the Casino di Venezia Venice Marathon at the time.

In 2010, the competition celebrated its 25th anniversary.[4]Template:R/superscript That year it hosted the men's Italian marathon championships, which was won by Migidio Bourifa.[4]

In 2011, the course included a section in Piazza San Marco for the first time.[3]Template:R/superscript

In 2012, the organizers decided to reroute the course to bypass Piazza San Marco due to the high tide in Venice.[5][6]

In 2017, the six leading runners lost about two minutes after mistakenly following a lead motorcycle for several hundred meters off the course about Template:Cvt into the race.[7][8] Race co-founder Enrico Jacomini explained that the lead vehicles had split off from the course as planned before it entered Venice, as it always does, since "Venice is not a city for cars or motorcycles".[9] Local runner Eyob Ghebrehiwet Faniel ended up winning the race by roughly two minutes, becoming the first Italian to win the marathon in 22 years.[7]Template:R/superscript[9]Template:R/superscriptTemplate:Efn

In 2018, the high tide resulted in runners having to run through ankle-deep water, and forced organizers to drop Piazza San Marco from the course.[10]Template:R/superscript[11]Template:R/superscript[12]Template:R/superscript Strong winds and heavy rain only exacerbated the conditions.[10]Template:R/superscript

In 2020, due to the coronavirus pandemic, organizers restricted the number of participants to three: a female ultramarathon champion, a male runner on the Venicemarathon Running Team, and a Paralympic champion.[13][14] All other registrants were automatically transferred to a virtual edition of the race, and given the option of transferring their entry to 2021 or 2022.[13]Template:R/superscript

Course

The marathon runs on a point-to-point course that begins at Villa Pisani in Stra along the Riviera del Brenta and ends on the Template:Ill in Venice.[15]Template:R/superscript

The first part of the course roughly follows the river eastward through Fiesso d'Artico, Dolo, Template:Ill, Oriago, and Template:Ill, before splitting off to the northeast to arrive at Marghera for the halfway point.[15]Template:R/superscript

The marathon next heads into Mestre, where it turns southeast to Template:Ill, wandering inside the park for about Template:Cvt before crossing Ponte della Libertà, a bridge nearly Template:Cvt long that connects the Venetian islands to the mainland.[15]Template:R/superscript

After leaving the bridge, the course heads toward the southern edge of the main island before running east along the Giudecca Canal and then crossing the Grand Canal at Punta della Dogana on a temporary pontoon bridge built specifically for the marathon.[15]Template:R/superscript Runners then make a small loop in Piazza San Marco, as long as the high tide permits,Template:Efn before continuing east along San Marco basin to finish at Riva dei Sette Martiri.[15]

As the course runs over many small canals during the last few kilometers in Venice, wooden ramps are constructed over the small bridges to prevent runners from running on the bridge steps.[15]Template:R/superscript

Other races

A 10KTemplate:Efn covering the last segment of the marathon, from when the course leaves Parco San Giuliano (shortly before crossing Ponte della Libertà) to when the course finishes at Riva dei Sette Martiri, is held on the same day as the marathon.[16] There are also a series of family runs, all roughly Template:Cvt in length, that take place during the weeks before the marathon.[17]

Winners

Since 2000, East African runners have dominated the elite races. Solomon Mutai of Uganda holds the men's record of 2:08:10 while Helena Kirop of Kenya is the women's holder with 2:23:37.
