What?
A marathon, an half marathon and a special race for skaters. All from the heart of Tuscany to Pisa, in Italy.

Where?
The marathon is from Pontedera town, the headquarters of the Piaggio company and their worldwide known Vespa and Ape, to Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa, just under the leaning tower. The half marathon starts in Navacchio and follows the same course, finishing in Pisa.

When?
If you want to join the 2011 edition of the Pisa Marathon, the big day is December 18th.

Why?
Less known than the Florence Marathon, this is probably the best value marathon in Tuscany: the race will offer wine refreshments along the course where you can taste the typical Tuscan wine. Probably the success of the Medoc Marathon is suggesting a similar race in another region known worldwide for amazing wines. The number of entrants will be limited to 1500 for the marathon so it's not getting too crowded and you can really enjoy the hilly countryside. Probably not a race for a PB, but the leaning tower, the Tuscan Riviera (less than half an hour away), the amazing countryside of Tuscany and a quiet and slow Sunday run are a good mix for the perfect early winter break.
