AN INVITATION TO DISCOVER PALERMO
Running in Palermo means immersing yourself in a city where cultures, eras, and flavors have intertwined for millennia.
Every athlete will have the chance to discover:
- the magnificence of the Arab-Norman architecture, a UNESCO World Heritage site;
- the vibrant energy of historic markets, the true “soul” of the city;
- the culinary tradition that makes Palermo a capital of taste: arancine, panelle, cannoli, pasta with sardines, and an endless variety of street food.
THE COURSE
The route winds along the roads embracing the Gulf of Mondello, passing through the Parco della Favorita and Via Libertà, offering athletes a course that is both technical and scenic:
- long, fast stretches along the seafront;
- natural and urban landscapes harmoniously blended;
- Art Nouveau architecture and historic views of the city;
- and, at the finish, the opportunity to cool down in the crystal-clear waters of Mondello, just a few steps from the finish line.
