Event
Information:
The
marathon is from Pontedera town, the
headquarters of the Piaggio company
and their worldwide known Vespa and
Ape, to Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa,
just under the leaning tower. The
half marathon starts in Navacchio
and follows the same course,
finishing in Pisa.
Less
known than the Florence Marathon,
this is probably the best value
marathon in Tuscany: the race will
offer wine refreshments along the
course where you can taste the
typical Tuscan wine. Probably the
success of the Medoc Marathon is
suggesting a similar race in another
region known worldwide for amazing
wines. The number of entrants will
be limited to 1500 for the marathon
so it's not getting too crowded and
you can really enjoy the hilly
countryside. Probably not a race for
a PB, but the leaning tower, the
Tuscan Riviera (less than half an
hour away), the amazing countryside
of Tuscany and a quiet and slow
Sunday run are a good mix for the
perfect autumn break.
The
4th 'La Pisanina' half marathon in
memory of the runner Andrea Mariotti
will start in Cascina at the same
time of the marathon start in
Pontedera (ore 9,00). The start line
is on the marathon course at the
half marathon distance. Navacchio
can be reached by car.
