Trieste Half Marathon
Trieste Half Marathon is a flat half marathon in Trieste, Italy, held each May. A point-to-point coastal course from Sistiana into Trieste. The organiser lists about 85 m of climbing and 155 m of descent, and calls it flat and fast. It finishes in Piazza Unità d'Italia. Early May on the Adriatic coast is mild with a chance of wind, typically 11 to 20°C. On a course as flat as Trieste Half Marathon, even splits are everything; the classic mistake is banking time in the first third.
