The Run Rome The Marathon will take place on Sunday 16 March 2025, starting in via dei Fori Imperiali at 8:30 am 

The average temperature in Rome at the end of March is about 13, with about 9 degrees at the start.

It is a flat route with about 20 metres of elevation and about 6 km of cobblestones (the route may be subject to some small variations).

The most famous and beautiful places in Rome: Fori Imperiali and Colosseo are the starting and ending points, Arco di Costantino, Circo Massimo, Porta San Paolo, Piramide Cestia, Basilica di San Paolo, San Pietro, Foro Italico, Piazza Augusto Imperatore, Ara Pacis, Piazza del Popolo, Piazza di Spagna, Piazza Navona, Campidoglio steps, Teatro Marcello, Bocca della Verità. (the route may be subject to some small variations).

Yes, there are 4 waves of departures spaced a few minutes apart.
The starting runners are lined up according to the following grids:

The “TOP” grid (area) is also reserved by the organisation. The organisers reserve the right to check the time declared by the athlete and to make the appropriate changes to the bib assigned if discrepancies are found. Depending on the bib number allocated, it will be possible to access the corresponding starting area.

According to rule 100 R.T.I. elite athletes (men and women) are considered to be those in the “TOP” and “A” grid (areas).

Yes.

You can use the backpack that you will receive with your race pack. No other type of bag or backpack will be accepted! Don’t forget to attach the appropriate sticker, showing the race number, on the transparent window of the backpack. After arrival, you can collect your backpack by showing your bib. Remember that the backpack should only contain the clothes necessary for a post-race change of clothes and that no valuables should be left in it: the organisation will not be held responsible for any theft. The time of the bag deposit will be communicated in the race info which will be published in the days before the race.

Yes. There will be numerous entertainment points along the route.

You can use the bag that you will receive with your bib. No other type of bag or backpack will be accepted! Do not forget to identify the bag with the race number label. After arrival, you can collect your bag by showing your bib. Remember that the bag should only contain the clothes necessary for a post-race change of clothes and that no valuables should be left in it: the organisation will not be held responsible for any theft. The time of the bag deposit will be communicated in the race info which will be published in the days before the race.

The meeting time and access to the grids (areas) will be communicated in the Race Info which will be published in the days before the race. Latecomers must start at the back of the group. The accesses to the “grids” (areas) will be manned by volunteers who will check your bib to ensure that you are entering your assigned starting sector. 

The start of Acea Run Rome The Marathon will be at 08:30 am.

The start will be in waves at intervals of a few minutes.

Please note that the trajectory used for the measurement corresponds to the minimum distance that can be covered. It is practically impossible for you to follow the same trajectory during the race, so it is quite normal for your GPS watch to record a distance covered in excess of 42.195 km by several hundred metres. 

The measurement of times and the drawing up of rankings will be carried out by means of a system based on an electronic transponder (“chip”) which will be handed out when the bib is collected with instructions and attached to the bib. The chip is strictly personal and cannot be exchanged. Athletes who remove and/or damage the “chip” in any way will not be able to be timed and will not appear in the rankings. For each athlete the following will be recorded: the official time (from the firing of the relevant wave to the finish line), the net time (from the moment of crossing the starting line to the finish line), the intermediate times at the following km: km 10, km 21,097 and km 30.

The time limit to finish the marathon is 6h30. Competitors will then be given the maximum time details for the various passes of the intermediate mileage references. At the end of the marathon there will be a technical commission composed of a technical manager, a FIDAL judge (if any), a representative of the Municipal Police Command, who will assess the actual closure of the route according to the status of the last participants. Athletes who do not respect the time limits for passing through the gates will be asked by the officials to board the shuttles for the withdrawn athletes or to continue running on the pavement and not on the road, in accordance with the Highway Code, in order to protect their safety.

Refreshments and sponges will be provided on the route in accordance with World Athletics/FIDAL regulations.

The organisation will provide, free of charge, several groups of clearly recognisable race assistants (“pacers”) who will be responsible for running the marathon at a steady pace to the finish line. More information on the pacemaker service will be provided in the coming weeks.

Athletes who are injured or intend to withdraw from the competition can use a special shuttle service to reach the next pick-up point (about km 20.6 – km 28.3 – km 32.8). From here they will be transported to the arrival area. Athletes who are able to walk can reach the nearest collection point on their own.

Medical assistance will be provided for athletes who need it along the route and at the finish line.

After the finish line, the athletes will receive a participation medal, access to the final refreshments and other post-arrival services (bag deposit, WC, etc.). We recommend that all athletes follow the instructions of our staff.

The partial and final times will be available in real time by following the appropriate links on the www.runromethemarathon.com website. It will also be possible to download a certificate of participation. The results will be validated by the Fidal Race Judges Group.
