Dogi's Half Marathon
Dogi's Half Marathon is a flat half marathon in Dolo, Italy, held each March. A one-lap road course along the Brenta canal in the Riviera del Brenta, between Padua and Venice, crossing the river by bridge. The start and finish town changes between editions. Late March in the Veneto plain is cool, usually 4 to 15°C, with fog or rain possible. Flat courses like Dolo's reward metronomic pacing — the danger is going out faster than goal pace because it feels cheap early.
