White Marble Marathon

About this event

The White Marble Marathon winds through the historic marble quarries of Carrara, where Michelangelo once sourced stone for his masterpieces. This unique road race offers runners a chance to explore the dramatic mountain landscape that has shaped Italian art and architecture for centuries. With four distance options ranging from 10km to the full marathon, the event caters to various experience levels, though the longer routes demand serious preparation given the challenging terrain. The course showcases stunning white marble cliffs and quarry roads, blending industrial heritage with natural beauty. February timing means cool conditions ideal for road running, though the marble mountains can be imposing in winter light.
