Mezza Maratona d’Italia – Memorial Enzo Ferrari
Run through Ferrari territory from Maranello to Modena
Join Marathon Tours & Travel for the Mezza Maratona d’Italia, a unique point-to-point half marathon dedicated to Enzo Ferrari, the visionary founder of Ferrari.
Combining world-class running, Ferrari heritage, stunning Emilia-Romagna scenery, and a vibrant Italian atmosphere, this exceptional event delivers a race experience unlike any other.
The Mezza Maratona d’Italia welcomes approximately 15,000 participants across all race distances and attracts runners from 88 nations. Starting in the heart of Ferrari territory in Maranello, the 21k course takes runners through areas rarely accessible to the public, including the legendary Fiorano Circuit, Ferrari’s private test track, as well as roads within the Ferrari complex itself, before finishing in the historic city of Modena.
This exclusive level of access is a rare opportunity, even for many devoted Ferrari enthusiasts. For those looking for a shorter challenge, we also offer a 10km race on Sunday and a 5km event on Saturday.
Beyond race day, our carefully curated package allows you to fully immerse yourself in the culture, cuisine, and character of this remarkable region. With comfortable accommodation, expert support from the Marathon Tours & Travel team, and seamless access to race activities, you can enjoy a stress-free running getaway that perfectly blends sport, motorsport heritage, and authentic Italian travel experiences.

Refreshment stations, cheering points and medical assistance points will be available for all runners, ensuring a unique and safe experience for every participant.

Average temperatures range from 6–9°C (43–48°F) at the morning start in Maranello and warm to around 13–15°C (55–59°F) by midday at the finish line in Modena, creating excellent, fast conditions for both first-time runners and athletes pursuing a personal best.
