Course description
A flat marathon through the old town of Florence, starting and finishing on Piazza Santa Croce, past the cathedral and over the bridges of the Arno. One of the last big dates in the European running year.
Coach tip
Late November is the latest sensible end point for a season — what follows is base work, not the next race.
Cobbles in the old town: the sections are short but cost rhythm.
The course is flat and easy to pace; split it into thirds rather than kilometres.
