Pisa Marathon race day weather
Cool conditions, steady pacing advised
Runners will face a temperature range from 42°F at the start to 48°F by the finish, with high humidity at 79%. Light winds from the east will create a headwind in Mile 2 and again from Miles 19-25, while tailwinds will benefit runners from Miles 3-4 and 7-9. With cool temperatures, a conservative pacing strategy is recommended, particularly in the early miles.

About the Pisa Marathon
The Pisa Marathon runs through San Rossore Natural Park and along the Tuscan coast before returning to the city to finish at Piazza dei Miracoli, the square where the Leaning Tower stands. The race is certified by AIMS and World Athletics and takes place each December alongside the half marathon La Pisanina and a shorter, non-competitive Christmas Run. Dmitriy Nedelin set the men's course record of 2:12:28 at the 2025 edition, breaking a mark that had stood for ten years. Recent editions have drawn runners from more than 80 countries.
