The Cagliari International Half Marathon is a certified 21.0975 km road race through the Sardinian capital, run on a flat course that stays close to sea level. Runners set off from Viale Armando Diaz near the waterfront and fairgrounds, move through the historic city centre and along Via Roma beside the port, then head out towards the Poetto coastline and the Molentargius salt flats, where pink flamingos are often visible. With mild Mediterranean conditions and only around 41 metres of total ascent, the route is built for fast running rather than climbing. Accompanying events round out the race weekend in a city that pairs an energetic urban setting with sea views and distinctive landmarks.

Other questions
The page does not list course records. The route is certified at 21.0975 km and is exceptionally flat, so fast times are common, particularly if the December weather stays mild and calm.
Runners can expect ideal mild Mediterranean conditions, with temperatures that are comfortable for road racing rather than hot. The event is staged near sea level, so wind off the water and occasional rain are worth preparing for.
The flat profile with only around 41 metres of total ascent, the certified road surface and the mild December climate make it a forgiving course. The main thing to plan for is pacing, because the route is fast and it is easy to go out too hard through the city centre.
Yes. Drink stations and nutrition stations are provided along the route, and medical assistance is available on course as well. The exact placement of each station is published by the organiser closer to race day.
The route is unusually varied for a half marathon, so supporters can watch runners in the historic centre, along Via Roma beside the port and out on the Poetto seafront. The Molentargius salt flats are a good spot later in the race, and pink flamingos are often visible there.
