The second edition of the San Francesco Marathon will take place on Sunday, November 17, 2024.
Following the great success of the first edition, the new race features an entirely new route and new ways of being together. The intent is the same as last year, to unite sport, friendship, and fraternity under Franciscan values. "I Bless You Life" is the message that will be launched during an event of international appeal.
The appointment is for Sunday, November 17th, 2024 with the 42.195k road race.
The race involves not only the body but also the mind and heart. Commitment, consistency, and discipline are some aspects that characterize the lifestyle of a runner. The race also expresses a depth that involves the spiritual dimension, which goes beyond the physical aspect and moves the desire, joy, and passion.
This event will not only be a sports event, but it will also try to unite running with solidarity. The registration will help support some aid projects of the Diocese of Assisi and the civil institutions of the territory, particularly for the most vulnerable.
