The Race
Milan
The Milan Marathon was founded in 1982, during the golden age of mass-participation running. Now 44 years old, it has established itself as a beloved fixture in Milan, growing from its early editions into a race with genuine character and loyal following.
Daniele Meucci etched their name into running history by setting the course record of 02:02:34 in 2012. That time places the Milan Marathon among the fastest courses in the world — a flat, fast stage where records are not just possible but expected.
Runners come to the Milan Marathon for one reason: personal bests. The flat, fast course through Milan has a reputation as a PB factory, with the roads seemingly designed to keep your pace honest and your splits consistent from start to finish.
The Milan Marathon is a certified Boston qualifier, and that three-letter abbreviation — BQ — transforms the race from an event into a gateway. Every year, runners come to Milan not just to finish but to chase a time that unlocks the world's most exclusive marathon.
