Afterwards, enjoy a typical Italian breakfast with a view of the lake.
It’s the perfect opportunity to discover the first kilometers of the marathon route, do a pre-race warm-up together, and test the latest running shoe models from our partner PEAK SPORT.
Places are limited (150 participants), so early registration is recommended!
LG KIDS RUN
Arco town center: start at 6:00 PM (1 km) and 6:20 PM (2 km). The LG KIDS RUN allows our young runners to show their parents what they can do!

Sunday, April 12th: your choice – run 42 km from Limone to Malcesine or 21 km from Arco to Malcesine.

LG42 MARATHON
Limone sul Garda: your run towards Riva del Garda begins here, along the famous Gardesana road. With the sound of the lake in your ears, the fresh wind at your back, and breathtaking mountain views, you’ll feel like you’re floating on the water all the way to Riva del Garda.
The charming streets of the historic center lead you along the northern shores of the lake, past numerous orchards, and you reach Arco in no time. Halfway there! Recharged, continue towards Torbole, where family, friends, and spectators cheer enthusiastically. From afar, you catch sight of Malcesine’s Scaliger Castle, and the last kilometers approach. You did it! Malcesine is reached and your well-deserved reward awaits.
LG21 HALF MARATHON
Encouraged by the thought that the marathoners are right behind you, start from Arco at full speed.
Run along the Sarca River towards the shores of Torbole, where the fresh breeze gives you just the right energy. Surprised by the enthusiastic spectators, you pass Torbole quickly, and following the route along mountain slopes, lake, and tunnels, you can already glimpse Malcesine Castle. Almost there, and the finish line is near. You did it! Malcesine is reached and your well-deserved reward awaits.
But there’s no time to get bored: the Expo area, food area, and cheering zones are waiting for you. The natural scenery of Lake Garda, between mountains and lake, completes your Pure Running experience.
