Set in Salemi, a historic hilltop town in western Sicily, the Maratona di Salemi is a unique, non-competitive half marathon inspired by Europe’s great wine runs. Combining running with local food, Sicilian wine, live music, and an authentic Italian atmosphere, it’s an experience that celebrates the very best of Sicilian life.

The route winds through idyllic countryside, charming cobbled streets, and family-run wineries, with stops along the way to savour regional wines and traditional Sicilian specialities.

After the success of the first edition, Maratona di Salemi returns in 2027, from 1–3 October, inviting runners, wine lovers, and curious travellers to come together for an unforgettable weekend in Sicily.

Whether you’re a social runner, a passionate wine enthusiast, or simply looking for a different kind of race experience in Italy, the Maratona di Salemi is your chance to discover Sicily one step, one glass, and one unforgettable moment at a time.
