As November draws to a close, runners from around the globe are invited to lace up their sneakers for the Turin Marathon, nestled just beyond the snow-capped Alps. This vibrant race takes place in the heart of Italy’s Piedmont region, where history and modernity blend seamlessly. Since its inception in 2024, it has quickly risen to become one of Italy's top five marathons, drawing thousands of athletes and amateur runners alike.
The Turin Marathon offers a flat course that winds through the city center and surrounding metropolitan areas including Moncalieri, Beinasco, and Nichelino.
