Hello runners! Are you looking for a marathon in a beautiful town this Autumn? You probably have heard about the Florence Marathon before: it’s the 27th edition and more than 11.000 people are expected. But today I am not going to talk about Florence. I want to give you another option, a different possibility, in a very beautiful place: Lucca, one of the best places to visit in the world according to Tripadvisor.

Lucca Marathon 2010
The appointment to the 2nd edition fo the Lucca Marathon is on October 24th. As a souvenir, each participant brings home a medal with the picture of Torre Guinigi, one of the symbols of Lucca. The number of runners is limited: only 2.000 people are accepted this year and it’s possible to register until October 10th (info@luccamarathon.it / phone: (+39) 327.5634782 or 327.5634813 ).
Below you can see a video of the 1st edition:
