The second edition of the Viterbo Half Marathon – Città dei Papi took place in Italy, attracting over 860 participants. The event featured three distinct races: the Half Marathon, a 4x5 relay, and the non-competitive Run for All, which focused on social inclusion.

In the men’s race, Hicham Boufars secured first place, followed by Andrea Todisco and Luca Parisi. In the women’s category, Anna Arnaudo took first place, ahead of Sara Carnicelli and Eleonora Bazzoni.
