Palermo, Italy · Sunday 19 November 2023
The 28th Maratona Città di Palermo takes place on trail terrain through Palermo, Italy in November, offering runners a flat to gently rolling course that stays low to the ground between 12 and 78 meters of elevation. With only modest elevation gain across the full 42.2 kilometers, this is a course where pacing and consistency matter more than climbing fitness, making it suitable for runners seeking a relatively forgiving race day in an Italian setting. The trail surface demands attention to footwork and traction compared to road racing, so practice on similar terrain beforehand if trail running is outside your usual routine. Palermo's November weather should be mild compared to summer months, though you'll want to check conditions closer to race day for layering decisions. This established race, now in its 28th edition, has built a solid history with multiple championship final medals in recent years, suggesting it attracts competitive fields alongside age groupers.
