Event Details
The Lucca Half Marathon is one of the most fascinating running races in Tuscany, thanks to a route that combines the historical beauty of the city with the technical quality of a FIDAL-approved race. With an almost completely flat track and a minimal difference in height, it is ideal for athletes looking for a new personal record.
The route develops in the heart of Lucca, starting at the majestic Walls of Lucca and arriving at one of its main squares, Piazza Napoleone. Crossing its characteristic paved streets it is possible to pass through the most evocative places of the city. The race is made fast by the fact of traveling twice the city walls and twice the external bike path, making the route smooth and without sharp curves (avoiding runners from having to change their pace). Running on this elevated ring gives you an unforgettable experience, with wide tree-lined avenues that alternate with picturesque views.
Participants can count on refreshment points strategically positioned along the route to ensure maximum support to athletes. Water and mineral salts will be distributed to maintain the right level of hydration and replenishment during the race. In addition, medical assistance and pacer services are provided to help runners better manage their rhythm.
Thanks to the FIDAL certification, the Lucca Half Marathon guarantees high standards in terms of measurement and regulation of the route, making it an officially recognized competition for the achievement of valid times for national rankings.
