It's understood that Marathon of Rome is not only about running the classic distance (42.195 m).
The route here is a special flash-back over thousands of years of history: starting from the breath-taking Imperial Forums, the run develops along the old town centre offering a special path to its participants, who could (could, if the oxygen still flows) admire lots of the Roman historic monumental beauties, from piazza Venezia to piazza Cavour, passing by Circo Massimo and near Basilica di San Pietro. After a tract along the Tevere river, the run re-emerges in the inner city and gets back for the final kms to the Colosseum, as a natural finish lane after quite a few hours of pain.
