Florence Marathon
Florence Marathon is a flat marathon in Florence, Italy, held each November. A largely flat loop through Florence's historic centre, with some cobbled and narrow sections. Cool and often damp, around 6-13C. Flat courses like Florence's reward metronomic pacing — the danger is going out faster than goal pace because it feels cheap early.
