If you like the idea of running by the sea, with Vesuvius in the background, and passing through the most atmospheric points of the city, the Naples City Half Marathon 2024 is the race for you!

In the heart of the Mediterranean, the city of Naples welcomes running enthusiasts from all over the world for its annual Half Marathon.

A race set amonf the beauties of Naples

On 25 February, 2024, the Naples City Half Marathon will be held in the beautiful city of Campania. This stunning half marathon, 21 kilometres long, will start at 09:00 from Viale Kennedy and will take its runners from Posillipo to Mergellina, from Via Caracciolo to Maschio Angioino, and lastly on to Mostra d’Oltremare Fuorigrotta.

Certified by the European and international federations which guarantee the quality of both the route and organisation, it represents an excellent opportunity for running enthusiasts to test their limits and improve their personal records.

The Naples Half Marathon also offers the opportunity to participate in the non-competitive x2 relay, enabling runners to experience the race as part of a team to better tackle the distance. The race thus becomes an experience of collaboration and mutual support.

Through the passing of the baton and encouragement along the way, runners can share in the joy of the race and motivate each other to reach the finish line, also accompanied by the enthusiasm of the local audience.

To ensure constant support for all participants, refreshment points will be placed along the route where runners can refresh and recharge their batteries. Fresh water, drinks and sports bars will be provided to enable participants to keep up their pace and tackle the distance with vigour.

 

Eleventh edition

This year marks the eleventh edition of the event. This important anniversary underlines not only the event’s longevity, but also its growing popularity and prominence in the road running landscape

More than 3,000 runners, both local and international, have already registered for the event, confirming the Naples Half Marathon as one of the most anticipated races in the city’s sports calendar and beyond. A first step towards preparing the Neapolitan capital for one of the most anticipated events of the coming years: Naples, European Capital of Sport 2026.

This event involves the entire community every year and the audience is an integral part of the show. Along the way, enthusiastic spectators motivate and cheer on the runners, helping to create a festive atmosphere and fuelling the participants’ energy reserves.

How to participate

To take part in the race, you must be at least 18 years old and fill out the appropriate form on the event website.

After paying the registration fee, you will be provided with the location of the pick-up point so you can pick up your “race kit” prior to the event.

For runners who do particularly well during the event, there are multiple awards and recognitions. In particular, trophies and cash prizes for the top finishers in the various age and gender categories. In addition, there are medals for all those who finish the race.

To celebrate the proud and sporty soul of the city, this year, at the end of the race, runners will be presented with a splendid Finisher Medal. Born of the imagination of the young artist Gabriele D’Annunzio, Napoli Running is inspired by the city’s great passion as Italian football champions, resulting in a medal reminiscent of the Scudetto. Against a backdrop of the iconic Piazza Plebiscito, it also features the tricolour, symbol of the entire country.
