Pro tips

  1. 01

    Predawn gun

    The 06:00 start means your first kilometers come before sunrise. Sort your ride to the Duomo area the night before and warm up in the dark.

    From the start time

  2. 02

    Run the flat evenly

    Only 69 m of total climb across the marathon, on wide, long, straight streets. Settle into goal pace early rather than surging on the open stretches.

  3. 03

    One big loop

    The course is a loop starting and finishing near the Duomo, so you never end far from the center. The last miles retrace familiar districts, which helps you judge the finish.

  4. 04

    Landmarks as checkpoints

    The route threads Porta Venezia, Porta Nuova, CityLife, San Siro and Parco Sempione. Use each district as a mental marker to break the marathon into chunks.
