Perugia Eco Marathon
Run where history meets nature
About Perugia Eco Marathon
A Marathon Between History and Nature
The Perugia Eco Marathon is a running event organized by A.P.D. Ponte Felcino for the Municipality of Perugia. Its slogan—"run where history meets nature"—perfectly captures the spirit of the event: routes that wind through the hills and trails of the Perugia region, passing through places of natural and historical interest, including the ancient medieval aqueduct of Perugia.
Three Distances for Every Runner
The event offers three competitive races of increasing length, plus a non-competitive option, to welcome both the most trained marathon runners and trail running and power walking enthusiasts. The races start from the historic center of the Umbrian capital, offering athletes a unique panorama between the acropolis and the countryside.
Sport and Ecology
As the name suggests, the event has a strong environmental focus and aims to promote the landscape of Perugia and Umbria through running, fostering a constant dialogue between sporting activity and respect for nature.
