About this race
Milan surprised the marathon world in recent years by quietly becoming one of Europe's fastest courses. The near-flat route (95m gain) runs past the Cathedral of Santa Maria Nascente (Duomo), the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, La Scala opera house, Castello Sforzesco, Parco Sempione, and the Arco della Pace. April conditions are pleasant โ 12โ18ยฐC โ and Milan's urban wind is generally modest. The course is largely smooth, the organisation is excellent (Italian efficiency applied to mass participation), and the finish in the Duomo square surrounded by Gothic architecture is spectacular. Milan is increasingly attracting elite sub-elite runners seeking fast April times after Boston season โ entry is still available without the scramble of Berlin or Amsterdam.
