The Padova Marathon is an international road marathon run in late April, organised by Assindustria Sport with the approval of the Italian athletics federation (FIDAL); the 2027 race is its 27th edition. The 42.195 km course is measured and certified by AIMS and World Athletics. It starts outside Stadio Euganeo on Viale Nereo Rocco at 8:30 am, and the route passes through Abano Terme and returns to Padua through the Mandria area and Via Goito. In the historic centre it runs along Via Vescovado and past Piazza del Duomo, Piazza dei Signori, Piazza della Frutta, Caffè Pedrocchi, Palazzo del Bo and the Basilica of Sant'Antonio, before finishing in Prato della Valle. The current marathon route was introduced in 2016, with a small revision in 2023. The half marathon starts in Abano Terme and finishes in Prato della Valle on the same day, and non-competitive city runs of 1, 5 and 10 km start and finish in Prato della Valle. The course is closed to traffic for a maximum of 6 hours 30 minutes. The organisers call the course fast. The race began in 2000 as an event for the Jubilee year, and until 2016 it was called Maratona Sant'Antonio.
