Venice Marathon
Venice Marathon is a flat marathon in Venice, Italy, held each October. Point-to-point from the mainland across the long lagoon bridge into Venice, finishing over temporary ramps on the city's footbridges. Mild autumn conditions, around 10-18C, with wind possible on the lagoon bridge. The Venice Marathon's flat profile means your pacing discipline, not the terrain, decides the day.
