Palermo Marathon and Half Marathon

About this event

The Palermo Marathon winds through Sicily's vibrant capital, where ancient history meets Mediterranean charm. Runners follow a route past honey-colored baroque churches, bustling markets, and coastal stretches where the sea breeze offers welcome relief. The course finishes at Piazza Ruggero Settimo, near the grand Teatro Politeama, right in the heart of the action. With both marathon and half marathon distances, the event draws serious runners looking for a fast course with character. The local crowd turns out in force, and post-race is all about celebrating with arancini and cannoli while soaking up the Sicilian atmosphere. It's a proper city marathon with real personality.
