The main event features a full 42.195 km course that starts and finishes near the iconic Imperial Forums and the Colosseum. The route is characterized by its historical surroundings, passing landmarks such as Piazza Venezia, the Circus Maximus, the Tiber riverfront, Castel Sant’Angelo, and St. Peter's Basilica.
The event includes several participation options:
