Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, this event has something to offer for everyone with both Half Marathon and 5k options.

But the fun doesn't stop at the finish line! Venice is a charming town known for its natural beauty, a rich history and a laid-back atmosphere.  After the race, treat yourself to a well-deserved meal at one of the many seafood restaurants, and explore the city's art scene by visiting one of the many galleries or the Venice Arts Center.

Venice also offers a variety of fun activities such as visiting the Venice Fishing Pier and Venice Beach, where you can catch a glimpse of dolphins and manatees. You can also take a scenic boat tour through the Venice Inlet or take a kayak and explore the nearby mangroves.
