About this event
La Filippide offers a spectacular descent through southeastern Sicily, starting from Chiaramonte Gulfi's mountain perch and flowing down to the Mediterranean coast at Punta Secca. The marathon route traverses the distinctive Iblean plateau, winding past ancient olive groves, carob trees, and the photogenic Donnafugata Castle before finishing beside the sea near Inspector Montalbano's famous house. The course's gentle downward profile makes it an appealing choice for those seeking a fast time with continuously changing scenery. Shorter options include a 15km trail to the castle and a walking route exploring nearby Ragusa. The post-race experience embraces authentic Sicilian culture—think granita, arancini, and local wines—while the baroque villages of the Val di Noto provide ample reason to extend the stay.
