Immerse yourself in Italy's breathtaking Lake Orta region for the ultimate marathon experience. This renowned challenge spans ten days, offering runners an unparalleled opportunity to traverse one of the world’s most celebrated courses. Known not only for its impressive speed records but also for a high number of finishers each year, this event is a testament to both endurance and scenic beauty. The route follows the western shoreline of Lake Orta, covering approximately 10 kilometers that are repeated four times over the marathon distance. This flat terrain ensures a smooth run through picturesque villages such as Gozzano, Lagna, Pella, and Ronco, each offering unique viewpoints along the way. The roads you’ll traverse have been well-trodden for twelve years now, making this event a local favorite. Running on all paved paths with minimal elevation changes and little traffic, participants can enjoy a serene journey through these charming locales. Each day concludes at a sports hall where accommodations are available free of charge (with prior reservation), allowing you to rest up before the next morning’s run. The culinary highlight is an afternoon pasta party that keeps runners fueled throughout their marathon adventure. A commemorative t-shirt awaits all finishers, and daily medals add another layer of recognition for your efforts. For those seeking a more extensive challenge, combining this event with the preceding Quadrortathon (four marathons in four days) grants you access to an exclusive 40cm x 40cm medal display. With a generous eight-hour time limit for all distances and a supportive atmosphere, this marathon is designed not just as a race but as an unforgettable journey through Italy’s scenic landscapes.
