- Where do I pick up my race bib?
- The Marathon Expo (Firenze Marathon Expo) is typically held at the Stazione Leopolda or the Mandela Forum. You must pick it up on Friday or Saturday; no bibs are issued on Sunday morning.
- Is there a bag drop at the start?
- Yes, bag drop services are available near the start area in Piazza Duomo. Use the official bag provided in your race kit and arrive at least 60 minutes before the 08:30 start.
- How do I get to the start line?
- If staying in the city centre, the start at Piazza Duomo is walkable. If staying further out, use the Tramvia (Line T1 or T2) to Santa Maria Novella station, which is a 5-10 minute walk from the start.
- What is the course profile like?
- The course is almost entirely flat and very fast, paved mostly with tarmac and some historical stone 'pietra' sections in the city centre which can be slippery if wet.
- Are there pacers available?
- Yes, the Firenze Marathon provides pacers for various target times including 3:00, 3:15, 3:30, 3:45, 4:00, 4:15, 4:30, and 5:00 hours.
- What happens if it rains?
- The race proceeds in all weather. The historic stone streets in Florence can become slick when wet, so ensure your shoes have decent grip.
