Rome Marathon

A few days before the race, all registered runners will receive an email as an official “confirmation letter”.

This email contains all the important instructions to collect your number bib and participate in the race. It is not necessary to print a paper copy of the email itself; you can view it on a device such as a smartphone or tablet.

The licence plate fair is located at Circus Maximus, less than 2 km from the hotel. In order to collect your new licence plate, you will need the confirmation letter and your identity document.

Opening hours below (subject to change by the organiser)

• Thursday 19 March 09:00 – 20:00
• Friday 20 March 09:00 – 20:00
• Saturday 21 March 09:00 – 18:00

You can read more about the licence plate fair here.

Our hotel is located 1 km from the start & finish area at the Colusseum.

The start for the elite is at 08.30, then five different waves start. You have received a wave on the number tag after the estimated end time you specified when registering. We recommend being in place in your pen about 30-45 minutes before the start.

Note! Each unique starting lane is divided into several smaller starting groups. If you want to start on time, you need to be early in the pen and line up at the front.

As the hotel is close to the start and finish, most of our runners don’t use the “clothing drop-off” available at the finish line. Instead, we recommend (depending on the weather) that you put on an old shirt and trousers that you can throw away after the start. It can be chilly in the morning. If it rains, a rain poncho is a good idea.

Water is served at the start area and toilets are available. For those of you who want to be accompanied to the start area, you will find times in the programme for that.

The Rome Marathon runs through the centre of Rome on a sightseeing-style course that starts at the Colosseum and passes many of the city’s most famous landmarks, such as St Peter’s Square, Piazza Navona and the Spanish Steps. The race runs mostly on historic cobbled streets and ends back at the Colosseum.

The maximum time for the Paris Marathon is 6.5 hours.

Temperatures in April range from 13 to 17 degrees centigrade.

Hydration stations are located approximately every five kilometres along the entire course. They offer water and various refreshments. Even sponges are available to rinse yourself with.

The finish line is located at the Colusseum and is lined with spectators cheering all the way to the finish line. After the finish line, you’ll be taken care of by officials handing out medals, fluids and recovery products, and there’s plenty of space to slow down, catch your breath and regroup after the race.

We recommend downloading the “Acea Run Rome The Marathon” app, which provides the latest information on the race. The organiser’s website also provides comprehensive information.
