Russi, Italy · Sunday 3 April 2022
The Maratona del Lamone takes place in Russi, a small comune in the Emilia-Romagna region of northern Italy, situated in the Po River valley near the Adriatic coast. The landscape here is characteristically flat and agricultural, with a quiet rural character typical of the Romagna countryside. The setting feels removed from the bustle of cities, offering runners a chance to experience the genuine character of the Italian flatlands rather than a heavily developed urban environment. The course itself is a trail marathon that stays true to the flat terrain of the region, with only gentle rolling sections and minimal elevation change across the entire distance. Runners will encounter a modest 35 meters of elevation gain over the 42.2 kilometers, keeping the effort focused on pace and endurance rather than climbing. The elevation stays between 1 and 18 meters above sea level, which means there are no surprises or sudden hills to disrupt your rhythm. Expect a run through the rural Romagnol landscape on trail surfaces, where the main challenge will be managing your effort on ground that rarely punishes you with steepness.
