The marathon covers four laps of the coastal circuit, so runners spend the day on the seafront road heading towards Syracuse and back with the Etna in the background.

Other questions
Yes. Alongside the marathon and the half marathon there is a 10.5 km distance aimed at amateur runners and people who enjoy outdoor sport, and it covers a single lap of the circuit.
It is one lap for the 10.5 km, two laps for the half marathon and four laps for the marathon, all on the same coastal circuit.
Separate regulations for the 10.5 km, the half marathon and the marathon are published on the official event website, together with the privacy policy in Italian and English.
December in Catania is usually mild, often between 12 and 18 degrees Celsius, though it can be breezy on the seafront, so layers and a windproof top are sensible.
The circuit is lapped and runs along the coast, so supporters on the promenade can see runners pass several times without moving.
