Event
Information:
The
Venice Marathon is a marathon road
race that has been held each year in
Venice since 1986, usually in
October. The race is currently
sponsored by Casino di Venezia
(Venice Casino), and thus it is
known as the Casino di Venezia
Venice Marathon.
A few
rumors were already circulating the
day after the 2009 Venice marathon,
but only now we are able to confirm
it officially: the route of the next
Venice marathon will go through
St.Mark's Square. A.S.D.
Venice marathon Club recently
received approval from the City
Council to go across the magnificent
square that is the very heart of the
lagoon town.
The Technical Direction of the
marathon is already at work to study
the alterations to the route that
will be necessary to make the
spectacular passage inside the
square possible, a passage that will
only occur in 2010, for the Special
Edition of the 25th Anniversary.
About 1 km after the exit from
St.Mark's Square the runners will
reach the Venice marathon finish
line, located - as always - in "Riva
Sette Martiri".
