Mantova Half Marathon

The Mantova Half Marathon is an annual road race through the historic center of Mantua (Mantova), Italy, run on a completely flat, closed-to-traffic course that loops twice through the city's UNESCO World Heritage old town, passing its Renaissance palaces, lakes, and Piazza Sordello. The 2026 edition is the 31st running, held on September 27, 2026, starting near Campo Canoa and finishing in Piazza Sordello. Aid stations are placed every 5 kilometers per FIDAL regulations, and a 2-hour-45-minute time limit applies. The event, organized by QuiSport with timing support from EvoData, typically draws around 2,000 runners and has grown over three decades into one of northern Italy's established autumn half marathons, pairing the race with the city's art and cultural heritage.
