On 26 April 2026, Padua will host its signature running festival with the Padova Marathon, an event blending road race performance and cultural heritage. Distances range from the full marathon to shorter 10 km, 5 km and even a 1 km fun run, making the event accessible to anyone. The marathon course begins near the Euganeo Stadium, winds through the suburbs and hills of the Veneto region, passes through the city’s old centre including the Basilica of Saint Anthony, and finishes in the majestic Prato della Valle. With its mostly flat profile and closed-road design, the race is well suited for personal bests while offering a window into Padua’s art-rich environment. Whether you’re targeting the full distance or a shorter challenge, this event promises both athletic ambition and city-charm.
