The Trento Half Marathon course is run on a single loop entirely within the urban area of the city of Trento and offers a stunning monumental backdrop, with the finish line set in the city’s most iconic square, Piazza Duomo.

The Adige River valley is wide and open, and the race course features barely perceptible elevation changes. The only noticeable incline is located in front of the Buonconsiglio Castle, covering approximately 300 meters at the 10th kilometer, with a gradient of 2%. 

The course is therefore particularly fast and ideal for runners seeking a time result that accurately reflects their current fitness level.
