Lake Garda 42 Marathon
Lake Garda 42 Marathon is a marathon held in Malcesine, Italy, in April. The full 42 kilometres starts on the lakeshore at Limone, then continues to Riva del Garda and Arco before finishing at Malcesine on the eastern shore.
The event also includes a 21 kilometre half marathon that begins in Arco, follows the Sarca River towards Torbole and ends in the same finishing town. Both races sit inside a wider running festival with side events, including a children's run in Arco over 1 kilometre and 2 kilometres for different age groups.
The terrain mixes lakeside paths with orchards, river valleys and mountain scenery, so the setting changes repeatedly as runners move between the water and the surrounding peaks.
