Parma Marathon

About this event

The Parma Marathon brings runners through one of Italy's most elegant food capitals, where Renaissance architecture meets world-class gastronomy. The event offers five distances from 10km to the full marathon, catering to different experience levels while showcasing the city's historic center and surrounding areas. The courses wind past Parma's notable landmarks, including the cathedral and Teatro Regio, creating a cultural journey alongside the physical challenge. What sets this event apart is the combination of serious racing atmosphere with distinctly Italian warmth — expect proper timing and organization, but also enthusiastic local crowds and perhaps the best post-race meal of any marathon. The October date means pleasant running temperatures and the city at its autumn best.
