Brescia Art Marathon
Brescia Art Marathon is a flat marathon in Brescia, Italy, held each March. A city-centre marathon starting in Via San Faustino at 156 m and finishing in Piazza della Loggia at 152 m. The highest point is about 181 m near km 8, so the organiser calls the changes limited. Mid-March in Brescia is cool, typically 3 to 14°C. Flat courses like Brescia's reward metronomic pacing — the danger is going out faster than goal pace because it feels cheap early.
