Runners were everywhere: stretching, bending, hopping (to keep warm), meditating, chattering nervously as they waited for shuttle buses to take them to the starting point, one of the most scenic terraces in Florence, Piazzale Michelangelo. Impeccable organization and good ‘ole Italian fun made this sunny Sunday a real treat for locals and visitors alike.
Shops were open and the streets were packed with cheering supporters from around the world.
Blessed by the young and well-loved Mayor Matteo Renzi who showed up to kick off the Family Run, a 3k made just for the kids, Firenze Maratona is just one more reason to come and enjoy Italian life in Florence!

They run the Florence Marathon!
Over 10,000 runners ran around the old renaissance town on Sunday in and out of alleys, along the river Arno and through piazzas for 42 kilometers. Our own wedding coordinator Luca ran the race in a record 4 hours 9 minutes – good job!!
