Naples Marathon

Course & Elevation

The Neapolis Marathon is the marathon of Naples, Italy, held on a Sunday in October, with the next edition on 24 October 2027. It is organised by SSD Neapolis Marathon under the patronage of the Comune di Napoli and the Regione Campania, and was first run in 2021. The marathon starts at 8:00 in Piazza del Plebiscito and finishes there, on a course of two laps of a 21.097 km circuit. The route runs along the seafront, through the port area and through the city centre, and the organisers single out the Castel dell'Ovo, Piazza del Plebiscito and the Maschio Angioino among its spectacular sections. The course is measured and approved by FIDAL and listed on the World Athletics calendar. A half marathon starts at the same time, and the weekend also includes the non-competitive Sea Run and a walk through the city's monuments. The time limit is six hours, with gates at 21.09 km after 3 hours 15 minutes, at 30 km after 4 hours 25 minutes and at 38 km after 5 hours 30 minutes. In 2026 the sixth edition also hosted the Italian Interforces Marathon Championship.
