Roma Ostia Half Marathon course.

1. 01

   Respect the Camping climb

   The key test is the Camping climb around kilometer 10: a 1.5 km ascent. Ease into it rather than forcing, then use the long descent to reopen your stride.

   Use the long straight

   After the Camping descent, the course heads south on a long straight toward Ostia. Settle into a rhythm and save energy for the fastest running late.

   Plan point-to-point logistics

   This is a point-to-point half marathon from PalaEUR in EUR to Piazzale Cristoforo Colombo in Ostia. Arrange your return from the finish and avoid leaving bags at the start.

   Read the early city miles

   The opening runs through EUR's wide boulevards and crosses the EUR Lagoon bridge before the long road south. Use these broad early streets to find pace without surging.
