Milan Marathon

Course & Elevation

The Milano Marathon, currently the Wizz Air Milano Marathon, is a point-to-point road marathon held on a Sunday in early April, starting in Corso Sempione beside Parco Sempione and finishing in Piazza del Duomo. RCS Sports & Events organises it, and it was first run in 2000, when it was known as the Milano City Marathon for a period. The 25th edition is on 4 April 2027, and more than 20,000 runners take part across the marathon, the relay marathon and the other races of the weekend. The route runs through the urban centre of the city. The route passes Piazza Firenze, the Monumentale cemetery and the Gae Aulenti area, then the Bastioni at Porta Venezia and Porta Romana around kilometre 9, and returns through the Portello and CityLife before the Parco Sempione at kilometre 37. The last kilometres run past the Castello, Piazza Cavour and San Babila to the cathedral. The time limit is 6 hours 30 minutes. There is an aid station every 5 km plus two extra, ten in all. The 2027 entry fee is €109 until 31 December. The organisers describe it as the fastest marathon in Italy.
