The San Francesco Marathon, one of the most eagerly awaited running events of the year, is preparing to make its grand debut in the picturesque city of Assisi on 5 November 2023. This year, the marathon village has chosen a very special setting: Leonori House in Assisi. This new venue will be the heart of the entire event, offering a unique experience to all athletes, running enthusiasts and visitors.
The San Francesco Marathon village will be open to the public at the following times:
- Friday 3 November: 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.
- Saturday 4 November: 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.
These times offer ample opportunity to explore all that the village has to offer, from registering athletes to buying gadgets and meeting other participants.
Casa Leonori in Assisi is located in via Joshua Borsi 11/13 and is strategically located between two of Assisi's main attractions: the majestic Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli and the historic city centre. The distance from Casa Leonori to the Basilica of Santa Maria degli Angeli is only 3 minutes by car and 10 minutes on foot, making it easily accessible for those wishing to visit this important religious shrine.
In addition, the village is located a short distance from the centre of Assisi, only a 10-minute drive away. This means that participants and visitors can fully immerse themselves in the rich culture and history of Assisi, exploring the cobbled streets, savouring the local cuisine in traditional restaurants and admiring the fascinating historical sights.
The San Francesco Marathon is not just a race, but an experience that combines sport, culture and the scenic beauty of Umbria. The village at Casa Leonori will be the place where all this comes to life. Here, participants and visitors will be able to enjoy a series of activities, entertainment and opportunities for discovery that will make the entire experience unforgettable.
