A personal message from the race director:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Basilica<\/a><\/p>\n

“St.Anthony Marathon is not only a big international running event, moreover it is a local feast for runners. Beside the two main competitions, on the same day take place three non competitive races of 10, 5 and 1 km open to every one, with start and finish in Prato della Valle. Padua is an historical town only 40km away from Venice with medieval beauties: among all, the famous Basilica of St.Anthony. It’s worth coming for the marathon but also for a unique vacation”.<\/em><\/p>\n
