Transitalia Marathon – Arrivo a Termoli
Europe's largest adventouring event arrives on the Termoli seafront
About Transitalia Marathon
When the road becomes an adventure
The Transitalia Marathon is an international, non-competitive adventure motorcycle touring rally, without timing or rankings: a collective journey through secondary roads, villages, and landscapes, discovering Italian history, culture, and traditions. In 2026, for its twelfth edition, the event chooses for the first time to descend to Termoli (Province of Campobasso, Molise) for its final arrival.
Four days of travel to the Adriatic
The convoy starts from Rimini and tackles stages towards Città di Castello, Cascia, and Castel di Sangro, before reaching Molise. The arrival is by the sea, within the walls of the Swabian Castle, a symbol of Termoli's Old Town: the southernmost point ever reached by the event in its twelve-year history.
A tribute to the origins of motorcycle touring
The 2026 edition is themed around the "call of origins": imaginary 1980s, historical road books reinterpreted in an adventouring style, the idea of the road as memory. For Termoli, the arrival of the Transitalia Marathon is also the event that symbolically closes the long calendar of the Termolese Summer, bringing hundreds of motorcycle and slow tourism enthusiasts to the city.
Transitalia Marathon — edition 2026
The Transitalia Marathon 2026, the twelfth edition, takes place from September 25 to October 1. The international adventure motorcycle touring rally starts from Rimini and covers four days of routes: the first stage towards Città di Castello, then Cascia, then Castel di Sangro, concluding on October 1 in Termoli, by the sea, within the walls of the Swabian Castle. It is the southernmost point ever reached by the event. The event is non-competitive, without timing, with a historical-cultural character that invites discovery of the places and traditions crossed.
