With the weather starting to warm up, Italy takes to the streets for Marathon season. We have more information on where you can go and see Italy’s marathons and half-marathons in our Events diary on page 17, but the Rome run has to be the most scenic. Starting and finishing on the Via dei Fori Imperiali, the course passes many of the city’s most famous architecture. The runners don’t get to see most of it, however, as they have keep their eyes on the cobbled streets beneath their feet.
