Wizz Air Rome Half Marathon by Brooks 2026
The Wizz Air Rome Half Marathon by Brooks takes place on 18 October 2026 and runs through the centre of Rome. The official route covers 21.0975 km and passes major historical sites including the Colosseum, the Circus Maximus, the Baths of Caracalla and Piazza Navona. The route is described as running through the streets of the city centre and visiting multiple historical landmarks.
The event also includes a Longevity Run presented by Altograno, a non competitive 5 km run focused on well being and prevention. The Longevity Run features health education activities, physical activity opportunities and free medical check ups that monitor blood pressure, cholesterol, blood glucose, body mass index, smoking habit, diet, physical activity and sleep.
The Rome half marathon has grown rapidly: in its second edition it registered 22,304 runners, a record for an Italian half marathon. For the 2026 edition organisers report that general registrations are sold out and participation is now possible through the Charity Program. The event is part of an international tour that connects running clubs from cities such as Lisbon, Prague, Berlin, Rio de Janeiro and Gothenburg. Organisers named on the event materials include RomaOstia Ssd and RCS Sports & Events, with title sponsor Wizz Air and presenting partner Brooks.
