20 MAR 2011: ROME MARATHON, ITALY
There can be few more impressive cities to run around than Rome and with spring in Italy bringing lovely warm weather this is a great spring marathon choice - and voted as the top choice by Runner's World survey of city marathons.
For 2011 we are pleased to announce that 2:09 Events have been made the sole Official Agent in the UK for the Rome Marathon and the organisers of the marathon will make a number of benefits such as a special recovery area at the finish for our runners that will not be available to other runners.
Historians of our sport will know that this is where great Abebe Bikila won the Olympic Marathon in bare feet on the cobbled streets of Rome. You can follow in the great mans footsteps on a traffic free route that takes you around all of the sights of the eternal city.
The race has a time limit of 7hrs 30mins.
