Italian marathon events 2027

In late July 2026 Italian cities announced new marathon programmes for 2027. Ferrara confirmed a revised 42.195 km course that will start and finish at the Castello Estense, routing runners through the historic centre and replacing the previous Po‑river stretch. The redesign, prepared by local clubs and awaiting federation approval, complements a Spring Run hosted by the Aeronautica Militare that blends public participation with charity fundraising.

A few days later, the Enzo Ferrari Memorial Half Marathon was slated for mid‑March 2027 in the Motor Valley, with the race beginning in Maranello and ending in Modena. Organized by RCS Sports & Events and backed by regional authorities, the 21.097 km event will include a Paralympic half‑marathon and a family 5 km run, showcasing Ferrari’s heritage sites. Together, the announcements illustrate a coordinated effort by Italian municipalities and sporting bodies to expand urban running events, promote tourism, and foster community engagement in 2027.
