The San Francesco Marathon sets off at 09:15 from Piazza della Porziuncola in Santa Maria degli Angeli, the small town on the plain below Assisi. The programme brings together a competitive marathon of 42.195 km, a competitive half marathon of 21.097 km, a competitive 10K and a non-competitive 10K, so both racers and leisure runners share the same start square. The event sits in Umbria, in the province of Perugia, and carries the name of Saint Francis, whose story is bound to the basilica that stands beside the start. The day is built around a single departure point, with runners gathering in the square before heading out into the surrounding Umbrian landscape.
