Maratonina Dei Laghi

The Maratonina dei Laghi is a half marathon and running festival held in Bellaria Igea Marina, Italy, on the Adriatic coast of Emilia-Romagna. The event combines a competitive FIDAL half marathon with shorter non-competitive options, giving runners and walkers a seaside race experience in one of the Romagna Riviera’s classic resort towns.

The main event is the 21.097 km competitive half marathon, described by ENDU as a fast and flat road race. Alongside the half marathon, the event includes a 10 km non-competitive run and non-competitive walking routes of 5 km, 10 km, and 21 km, making the event accessible to serious runners, recreational participants, walkers, and visitors looking for an active coastal weekend.

Bellaria Igea Marina gives the race a distinctive Adriatic atmosphere. The town is known for its beaches, seafront promenade, family tourism, and relaxed seaside energy. The race starts in the early evening, which gives the event a more festive and atmospheric feel than a traditional early-morning half marathon. With the meeting point at the Palazzo del Turismo and the start in Piazza Minzoni, the event is centered in the town’s tourist and civic core.
