Participating in the Wizz Air Milano Marathon is much more than running a race — it’s joining a vibrant celebration that transforms the city into a festival of sport, solidarity, and joy.

Held in the heart of Milan, the event welcomes over 15,000 runners from around the world, with a scenic route starting at Corso Sempione and finishing in the iconic Piazza del Duomo.

The marathon offers a unique experience thanks to its energetic atmosphere, supported by over 30 cheer points along the course. These include live bands, DJs, and enthusiastic volunteers from charities and local communities, creating a continuous wave of encouragement that carries runners through every kilometer.

For those who prefer team spirit, the Relay Marathon is a highlight. With over 16,000 participants, it allows groups of four to complete the marathon distance together, each running a leg of the course. The Relay is exclusively tied to the Charity Program, meaning every team runs for a cause, adding purpose to every step.

Inclusivity is a core value of the Milano Marathon. The Family Run welcomes over 10,000 runners of all ages, offering a fun and accessible event filled with games and sports activities. The Dog Run, a 1.5 km non-competitive walk, invites pet lovers to enjoy the day with their furry companions in the beautiful CityLife district, complete with refreshments for both pets and owners.

Beyond the races, the Milano Running Festival (April 9–11) sets the tone with workshops, interviews, and interactive experiences featuring athletes and guests from the sports world. The final celebration continues with the Milano Marathon Awards, honoring those who made the event unforgettable.

Whether you’re chasing a personal best, running for charity, or simply soaking in the energy of Milan, the Wizz Air Milano Marathon offers an unforgettable journey. It’s a moment where sport meets culture, community, and emotion — and every runner becomes part of something bigger.
