Rome Marathon route
The route does not pass the Colosseum. Start and finish are at the Imperial Forums right next to the Piazza Venezia. The route passes many of Rome’s main attractions:
Circus Maximus, Pyramid, St. Paul Outside the Walls, Tiber Island, St. Peter, Castel Sant’Angelo, Milvio Bridge, Ara Pacis, Piazza del Popolo, Spanish Steps, Piazza Navona and Torre Argentina.
Traffic regulations
If you go on foot, you can enjoy the center of Rome mostly without traffic until the early afternoon. Various roads require you to wait a bit when a group of runners come through.
The metro runs normally, but bus routes in the center are interrupted or being diverted. To get to the start of the marathon, get off at Metro B station Cavour.
Motorists should expect closures from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. The area near Piazza Venezia will be closed the night before. You will need more time to get to the airport from the city center.
Hi,
We are arriving in Rome on Sunday morning. Will we be able to reach our hotel – the Grand Hotel Palatino on Via Cavour, 213/M, 00184- at about 11:30 am local time? If not, do you have any suggestions as to what we can do? We will have suitcases with us, of course.
Hello,
Via Cavour is not affected by the marathon. You can take a cab to the hotel or a bus or train to Termini railway station and then the Metro B direction Laurentina, 1 stop to Cavour. Buses will not be running.
Hi, is piazza resorgimiento open today? Our driver is meeting us there at 9:30
Hi there, probably on the upper side near the walls of Vatican City.
Hello,
Will it be possible for a large tourist bus to depart from a hotel on Via Giovanni Amendola (Termini Station area) Sunday morning around 08:00/08:15 for Rome Fiumicino Airport?
Hi Lisa,
Via Ostiense and via Cristoforo Colombo will be closed. The bus could go through the city center at that time and then take Via Aurelia or southward through Via Appia Nuova. For both routes it will need 15-20 minutes more. So you have to count with 50 minutes driving instead of 30 minutes on a normal Sunday from Termini to Fiumicino.
Hello we will be in a hotel on Viale di Trastever (near Ippolito Nievo tram 8 stop) and on the 19th we have a private bus transfer at 6.30am to Pompei. Will the bus be able to pick us from there?
Hi Dora, there will be the Sunday market Porta Portese but no problem for the bus to arrive there. Enjoy your trip to Pompei.
I have a run card and medical certificate but do not know how to up load to this the app is italian can anyone help
If you have problems, you shall contact their helpdesk at the registration page.
How do you find your results???
Hi Richard,
Results of the Rome Marathon 2019
Hi, We are leaving our hotel which is enroute of the marathon on April 7th. Our hotel is telling us that it’s ok for us to get a taxi in the area up until 8am to go to Termini rail station. I am little apprehensive. Hope some one can help. Our train is at 9:20
Hi Uzma,
if you don’t stay right at the Colosseum 8am is ok. The Marathon starts around 8:30 and first moves south to Via Cristoforo Colombo and then to San Paolo but also there it will become difficult only after 8:30.
We need to leave our hotel at 16:30h to get to the airport Fiumiciono by car.
It’s located Corso Vittorio Emanuele/Via del Gesú. Does the taxi have access to this area at this time?
Hi Alex,
probably at that time they will still be cleaning some streets but the taxi will be able to arrive.
Hi. We are in Trastevere and need to get to Termini. Where will crossing places be near us? *(walking)
Hi John,
you better go to the Trastevere railway station. You can take there trains to Termini and to Fiumicino.
If you want to walk to Termini, you have to cross two times the marathon track. It depends, when you want to go. Maybe the first runners are at ponte Garibaldi around 9:30 and from 10:30 on it will become difficult to cross the area between Torre Argentina and Piazza Venezia. I suggest to pass at Ponte Garibaldi and then walk trough the Ghetto (via dei Falegnami, via Margana) to Piazza Venezia and to cross somewhere there. You may then continue to Largo Magnanapoli and via Panisperna. This is a nice walk but not with luggage as there are cobblestones.
I am from Malta. Do I need a runcard and medical certificate to do the 5k fun run please?
Hi Ruth,
for the free run you don’t need runcard and medical certificate. In the free run, everybody can participate, but you have to register at http://iscrizioni.maratonainternazionalediroma.it/?page=login or at the Marathon Village.
