The heart of the event beats here
For the second year in a row, Eataly Rome will once again host the event village, from Thursday, October 16 to Saturday, October 18. The location remains the same as the first edition: the outdoor area next to the building designed by Spanish architect Julio Lafuente, in Piazzale XII Ottobre, where the Ostiense Air Terminal once stood.
This is where the area dedicated to runners and sponsors will be set up, welcoming participants and visitors during the two days leading up to the race.
A strategic location, easily accessible by train and via metro line B.
