In the Lake Garda Marathon there is all the charm of the small Italian “sea,” with its deep waters squeezed between plains and mountains, its characteristic villages that enliven its shores, and its landscapes a popular destination for lovers of active tourism. Theevent(Lake Garda 42) , dedicated to the running world, will be staged on Sunday, March 26, for a second edition that aims to build on the world-class success achieved when it debuted last year.

Two routes are planned – the Classic Mar athon (42 km) and the Half Marathon (21 km) – covering the northern part of the lake. Limone sul Garda is the starting point (Arco di Trento in case of half marathon), Malcesine the final finish line for all. The track is almost entirely “lake view,” with unique panoramic views.

Technical description:
The classic 42-kilometer route leads, in the first part, from Limone to Riva del Garda, along the famous Gardesana. From the historic town center, pushing north through the orchards, you reach the gates of Arco di Trento.
From here we proceed south again, arriving in Torbole and lapping the eastern shore of the lake. With a few tears on the mountain slopes that are reflected in the waters of Lake Garda, the race draws to a close in the town of Malcesine.
