Maratona del Mugello

Experience the oldest marathon in Italy, the Mugello Marathon, where history and nature meet to create an unforgettable race. Unlike most marathons, which were only open to a select few in the early 1970s, the Mugello Marathon was created by a group of passionate runners from Borgo San Lorenzo, led by Franco Sargenti, Roberto Gherardi, and Mario Boretti. First known as the "First Marathon of Mugello," this race was also unique in its nighttime setting during its inaugural year.But what truly sets the Mugello Marathon apart is its stunning cultural and natural surroundings. Located just a short distance from Florence, the heart of the Mugello valley offers a picturesque landscape of rolling hills, majestic mountains, and iconic Tuscan attractions such as vineyards, olive groves, and charming medieval and Renaissance villages like Scarperia, which is conveniently located along the marathon route. Don't miss the opportunity to run through this magnificent setting and be a part of the history of the Mugello Marathon.
