About
The race
The Milan Marathon takes place in Milan, Italy, and follows a loop course through the city’s central districts and surrounding neighborhoods. The race starts and finishes near the historic city center, close to the Duomo area. The course passes several notable areas including Porta Venezia, Porta Nuova, CityLife, and San Siro, as well as sections near Parco Sempione. Much of the route runs along wide city streets with long straight sections, and the course profile remains consistently flat throughout the race.
Before you go
Pro tips
Racing it
- 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
- 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.
From the elevation profile
- 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.

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.
From the description
In Milan
Race-morning transit
With central streets closed, the metro is the quickest way in; stations around the Duomo and Cadorna leave a short walk to the start and finish areas.
Spectator spots
Wide avenues around Porta Venezia and Porta Nuova give spectators long sightlines, and Parco Sempione is a green, calm place to watch the field pass.
After the finish
Milan's aperitivo habit suits a post-race evening, and a slow walk along the Navigli canals or through Parco Sempione loosens stiff legs.
