Ravenna Marathon
Ravenna Marathon is a flat marathon in Ravenna, Italy, held each November. A city course that links the eight UNESCO-listed early Christian monuments of Ravenna. The organiser calls it flat and fast, and publishes an elevation chart. Early November is cool and often damp on the Adriatic plain, typically 5 to 14°C. The Ravenna Marathon's flat profile means your pacing discipline, not the terrain, decides the day.
