In the heart of Tuscany - old world charm, endless stunning vistas, and unrivaled food and wine await. The EcoMaratona Chianti hosts a marathon, half-marathon and 13KM. All distances take the runner on trails through woods, vineyards and rolling hills, which have inspired artists for centuries. Entering its 14th year, the marathon begins at Brolio Castle, site of the oldest vineyard in Italy. The day before your race, enjoy the Emozioni Chianti Classico, a leisurely five-hour walk with food and wine tastings at vineyards along the way.
Two nights in the quintessential medieval walled city of Siena and three nights at the intimate Relais Borgo Scopeta in the Tuscan hills are included in your package. In addition, you will enjoy a full day trip to the enchanting town of Montepulciano. The drive through the Val d’Orcia is one of the most scenic in Italy.
This destination experience appeals to runners and supporters looking for that small boutique event experience. The quaint village of Castelnouvo Berardenga hosts the finish line in an intimate setting with kiosks hosted by local farmers, bakers and wine makers. Optional activities include a cooking class with lunch or e-bike rentals for a wine tour.
This tour is limited to 45 travelers.
Stephanie was fantastic. She was a great host at the welcome party and all of the other events. She went out of her way to introduce everyone to each other. If she saw anyone sitting by themselves, she would join them and invite others to join them. She was very enthusiastic every step of the way, and was very knowledgeable given her dual citizenship.
I loved the local tour guides and the visits to the wineries. Everyone seemed well taken care of too, which makes me feel comfortable traveling with Marathon Tours & Travel!
People were great, as well as the trip staff and just being in Italy and experiencing all that Tuscany had to offer in a short time!
