International Lake Garda Marathon 18th October 2015
Since the inauguration in 2007 the event has hosted roughly 2,000 runners each year. In addition to the full marathon distance, the event provides a 15 km long non competitive Lake Garda Run and a 30 km long Lake Garda Long Run. The route for each of the events runs along the east coast of Lake Garda, leaving all runners breathless just from the views! According to the organisers, the route is also relatively flat. The course record for the
marathon is 2:18. This year the organisers have also added another newbie to the event – Torbole Night Run. Torbole Night Run is a soft trail run race which takes place on Saturday night 17th October, starting at 8 pm. The organisers describe the route as breathtaking, however to get to witness the views you need to climb a few hills, which have been equipped with 3 long, separate metal ladders to make the climbs easier. Sounds interesting and challenging! Perhaps not for the fainthearted!
The mains sponsors of the event are GORE Running Wear, Mitsubishi and PowerBar.
