Vittorio Veneto - Treviso (Italy), Sunday 4 March 2012

The Treviso Marathon in northern Italy welcomes over 2000 runners every year.

The route is a point-to-point course which is closed to traffic, certified, and very fast. Overall, it goes about 120 metres downhill.

The start is in the pleasant town of Vittorio Veneto, situated at the foot of the Venetian Alps. Competitors run southwards across the vast Venetian Plain to the finish in the historic centre of Treviso, which is located around 30km to the north of Venice.

Along the road into Treviso, runners pass a number of magnificent old villas, before they run through Treviso's old town with its canals, waterwheels, churches, piazzas and palazzos.

In 2011, the winners were Ahmed Nasef of Morocco (2:13:57) and Italy's Martina Celi (2:36:14).
