MARATONA SANT ANTONIO

Padova (Padua), Italy

Sunday 19 April 2015

Follow the steps that Saint Anthony of Padua walked in 1231 through the ancient towns of the Venetian Plain, 25 miles west of Venice. The race begins in the village of Camposampiero and finishes at Padua’s magnificent Prato della Valle – one of Europe’s largest town squares.  

The race receives excellent reviews for its flat course, enthusiastic crowds and beautiful scenery. Padua hosts both a half and full marathon that day and both races share a finish line. This means there will be no time restriction for the half marathon. The race organisers have not opened registration yet. We expect registration to begin in mid October.  

One very important note – the half marathon trip is for runners only.  No husbands, no partners, no kids, no non-runners.  This weekend is all about you and the women in the running group.  If you want to talk about this, just let me know.

A gigantic “thank you” to Chris Roberts for all her work to organise this trip!  Please let us know if you’d like to help Chris – we’d love your help!

We’ll come back to you soon with more details regarding our flight arrangements, travel plans and directions for how to register for the race.

At the moment all you need to do is mark your calendar and keep running!
