    This marathon is a fast one run over a very flat course. The run starts in Stra and finishes on the Island. The course takes you along beside the bay and on to Mestre before turning and crossing the link to Venice where you run along side the Giudecca Canal, over the bridge by the Accademia. As you have all of the wonderful sights to keep your mind away from feeling the pain too much this marathon is a good one to try if you are thinking about an overseas venture. There is also a half marathon option which is my choice for this event in 2007.

    You can see the course at the weblink below.

    Equipment: Make sure you bring your own shoes etc. The run is in October so can be a bit cooler. I would recommend that you also bring your own carb loading gear as this sort of thing is not always easy to find in a foreign land.

     Love your tips on the "lesser known" islands of Venice. I loved Burano, thanks for the great pictures!    		Maurizioago Fri Nov 10, 2006 11:06 UTC
     There are some good suggestions here. I have to go back to Venice soon. Ciao!
