White Marble Marathon

Step into the heart of Tuscany for an unforgettable running experience at the White Marble Marathon, set along the stunning coastlines near Marina di Carrara. This Italian gem offers runners a unique blend of scenic beauty and historical significance, with routes that wind through charming seaside towns like Marina di Massa and Cinquale di Montignoso.
Choose from several distances to suit your taste: marathon, half-marathon, 32 kilometers, or the more urban trails at 10 km and 14 km. Each route delivers breathtaking views of the Mediterranean Sea and stretches of pristine beaches that make winter racing a delight. The course is mostly straight with only one detour through Marina di Carrara’s bustling city center.
Beyond the race itself, participants can explore the rich marble heritage of the region by visiting local museums dedicated to the art of sculpting stone or touring the historic quarries where Michelangelo sourced his materials. A visit to Colonnata for a taste of its famous Lardo di Colonnata—aged in marble vats—is not to be missed.
All finishers receive an exclusive souvenir: a medal crafted from local white Carrara marble, symbolizing your achievement etched into the heart of Tuscany’s natural beauty. Join us on February 13, 2027 for an event that combines athletic challenge with cultural immersion and scenic splendor.
