Venicemarathon
Race Day Weather
Mild start, headwinds ahead
Runners will face a mild start of 58°F, gradually warming to 63°F. With humidity at 77% and a light headwind throughout most of the course, pacing adjustments will be crucial, especially during the challenging miles 1-10 and 12-16. Hydration should be prioritized, and runners should consider conservative pacing to manage the headwinds effectively. A light rain may also occur, but it is unlikely to impact performance significantly.

Race Info
Venicemarathon runs from Villa Pisani in Stra, about 25 kilometers west of Venice, to Riva Sette Martiri on Venice's waterfront. The course follows the Riviera del Brenta through Marghera and Mestre, crosses the roughly four-kilometer Ponte della Libertà into the historic center, and finishes after 14 canal bridges in the last three kilometers, each fitted with wooden ramps so runners don't have to climb the stone steps. First held in 1986, the race carries a World Athletics Bronze Label and caps the marathon field near 8,000 runners; a half marathon and a 10K start on the same morning.
