3 Mytho Marathon
Udine, Italy · Sunday 29 October 2023
Mytho Marathon is a trail-based full marathon held in October in the Udine region of northeastern Italy, offering a genuinely flat and easy course that makes it suitable for runners targeting fast times or those building endurance without battling serious elevation. The 42.2km route stays almost completely at sea level with negligible climbing, which means you can focus on running rhythm rather than managing steep terrain or sustained climbs. October weather in this part of Italy tends to be cool and stable, creating decent conditions for a full effort, though you should check trail conditions closer to race day since weather can affect ground surface. This is a trail marathon, so expect dirt, gravel, or similar natural surfaces underfoot rather than road, which will feel different on your legs and requires shoes with adequate grip. If you're based in Italy or planning a fall racing trip to this corner of the country, Mytho gives you a legitimate chance to run hard on a course designed to reward effort rather than punish it.

Trail-specific shoes with good grip are recommended, and runners should expect a finish time 10-20% slower than their equivalent road marathon time.
