The most beautiful marathon I've ever run. The route is exciting and even the photo shoot is specially designed to film you in front of the most beautiful monuments in Florence.

Probably a bit tedious around km 30 because you get away from the city but all the rest of the way is worth the effort.

L’organizzazione negli ultimi anni è molto migliorata ed ha raggiunto un’ottimo livello. Percorso in piano con ottima partecipazione del pubblico . Pacco gara soddisfacente e nuova location Expo adeguata e viva .

L’ultima edizione 2019 non è stata omologata , dopo il 60 runner , causa emergenza e taglio al percorso

It was my first Marathon - Firenze Marathon 2018. I will never forget it and strongly recommend. Florence is a beautiful location for this event, full of art and historical monuments and I found a great organization indeed. A lot of food and energy rechargers. Yes, It was raining but believe me, with all the enthusiasm around me I didn't feel any difficulty, and I reached the finish line gaining the conquered medal. It was an artistic medal designed, for the occasion by Clet Abraham. Firenze Marathon is the marathon for everyone, beginners and experts such as Lonah Chemtai Salpeter, who won in 2h24’17” ... Amazing!

A flat and quite quick course. A lot of bends and turns, and some cobblestones but the surroundings is magnificient. The organization was good and there was no problem getting in to the start gate.
