Venicemarathon
Race Day Weather
Cool start, warming finish
Runners will face a cool start at 49°F, gradually warming to 59°F by the finish. With light winds from the east and humidity at 61%, conditions will remain comfortable but may feel slightly cooler early on. The first half features headwinds in miles 1-9 and 12-16, prompting runners to adjust their pacing strategy. Staying hydrated will be crucial as temperatures rise, especially during the final miles.
The finish is 17 miles from the start, so we forecast it at 2 points, not just the start line. At 9:00/mi, you start at 51° and finish around 1:35 PM in 56°.

Race Info
Venicemarathon runs from Villa Pisani in Stra, about 25 kilometers west of Venice, to Riva Sette Martiri on Venice's waterfront. The course follows the Riviera del Brenta through Marghera and Mestre, crosses the roughly four-kilometer Ponte della Libertà into the historic center, and finishes after 14 canal bridges in the last three kilometers, each fitted with wooden ramps so runners don't have to climb the stone steps. First held in 1986, the race carries a World Athletics Bronze Label and caps the marathon field near 8,000 runners; a half marathon and a 10K start on the same morning.
