Few marathons start beside the Colosseum. Rome's does. A single sightseeing loop on closed city roads through the historic core, past Circus Maximus, Trastevere, the Vatican and Piazza Navona.
The route
42.195km as a single loop starting and finishing on Via dei Fori Imperiali by the Colosseum, crossing the Tiber roughly six times. Only ~55m of climbing, but around 6km of it runs over cobblestones, much of that after 30km.
Mid-March, Rome
Highs around 15°C and lows around 6°C, but it has dropped to -2°C. Rain on 28% of days. Pack for the cold end, not the average.
