Tranincorsa Half Marathon
The half marathon on the Trani seafront, winding between the port, the Cathedral, and the olive groves of Puglia
About Tranincorsa
The race that embraces the sea of Trani
The Tranincorsa Half Marathon is the most anticipated running event in Trani, a city in the Barletta-Andria-Trani (BAT) province, in the heart of the Adriatic Puglia region. Every autumn, thousands of runners choose this half marathon to race along one of the most picturesque coastal stretches in Southern Italy: the start and finish lines are set in Piazza Marinai d'Italia, just steps away from the port and the famous Romanesque Cathedral overlooking the sea.
A route between stone paving and the seafront
The course, certified by FIDAL at the official distance of 21.097 km, alternates between the asphalt of the seafront and the former State Road 16 towards Bisceglie and back, and the charming chianche cobblestones of Trani's historic center. It is a predominantly flat, fast, and scenic route closed to traffic, offering stunning views of the harbor, the Swabian Castle, and the coastline. Alongside the competitive race, the event also features a non-competitive run open to everyone, including walkers and families.
Sport, competition, and values
Tranincorsa is more than just a local race: in recent years, it has taken on a leading role on the national stage, hosting events such as the National Inter-Force Championship and the FIDAL BAT Provincial Championship. Athletes from military sports groups and law enforcement agencies compete on the streets of Trani alongside amateur runners from all over Puglia and neighboring regions. The event also has a strong inclusive and charitable spirit, with the participation of athletes with disabilities accompanied along the course.
Organization
The event is organized by A.S.D. Atletica Tommaso Assi Trani under the aegis of FIDAL Puglia, with the support of the Municipality of Trani and the Puglia Region. For running enthusiasts, Tranincorsa has become a fixed date on the autumn Puglian running calendar, capable of transforming the entire city into a grand open-air festival of sport for a weekend.
