On Sunday, March 2, 2025, Bologna will host one of the city’s most exciting events: the Bologna Marathon, a day where sport, history, art, and gastronomy come together for an unforgettable experience.
The event includes four different distances for every type of runner: the full marathon (42.195 km), the 30 km “Portici” race, the “Run Tune Up” half marathon (21.097 km), a 5 km solidarity city run, and the delightful Kids Marathon for the little ones. The races start at 8:30 am from the historic Piazza Maggiore, which transforms into the stage of a true popular celebration: marathon village, music, gatherings, and cultural exchanges all set to the rhythm of sport.
Guests at Locanda dell’Orsa can enjoy an unforgettable day, even just as supporters or tourists: waking up in Bologna already surrounded by the energy of the athletes, soaking in the atmosphere of the porticoes, and cheering in Piazza Maggiore or along the city’s streets. After the marathon, it’s the perfect time to enjoy lunch at Osteria dell’Orsa, Fuori Porta, or other restaurants in Bologna for a truly memorable Sunday.
