Rome Marathon 2027

With the Colosseum at your back and the Eternal City opening up ahead, the Rome Marathon is a 42.195 km journey through more than two thousand years of history. The 32nd edition takes place on Sunday 14 March 2027, starting at around 8:30 on Via dei Fori Imperiali in waves by declared personal best. The course passes Piazza Venezia, the Palatine and the Circus Maximus, the Basilica of San Paolo and the Pyramid of Cestius, runs along the Lungotevere past Tiber Island and Castel Sant'Angelo, sweeps down Via della Conciliazione to St Peter's Basilica, crosses Ponte Milvio and returns through Piazza del Popolo, Piazza di Spagna and Piazza Navona, before a triumphant finish inside the Circus Maximus. The route is almost flat, between 8 and 31 metres above sea level, and the time limit is a generous 7 hours, with pacers for runners and fitwalkers alike. A FIDAL Gold Label race and a partner of the Abbott World Marathon Majors, it includes the official technical T-shirt, the finisher medal, a runner's backpack with sponsor products, refreshment and sponge stations, bag deposit, live tracking and race photos, with bibs collected at the Expo Village. Minimum age is 20.
