Rimini Marathon
Rimini Marathon is a flat marathon in Rimini, Italy, held each April. The organiser calls it flat and fast with few turns. It starts at the Rotonda Lucio Battisti, runs along the Adriatic seafront through Riccione and Misano, and finishes in Rimini. Mid-April on the Adriatic coast is mild, usually 9 to 17°C, with some sea breeze. Flat courses like Rimini's reward metronomic pacing — the danger is going out faster than goal pace because it feels cheap early.
