The stunning seaside course is Italy’s fastest half-marathon, with more than 100,000 runners expected to take part next year.
If you want to bring some light into your winter, why not run in next year’s Coelmo Napoli City Half Marathon?
This is a record-setting course, with Yeman Crippa breaking the Italian men’s record of 59:26 in 2022, while Sofia Yaremchuk equaled the women’s national record of 2024 in 68:27.
Historically, about 30% of participants achieve personal bests, attracting both elite runners and ambitious amateurs.
But the appeal of racing goes beyond speed. The course includes 16 kilometers along the coast of Naples, representing more than 75% of the course. The race offers a flat route and spectacular views of the Bay of Naples and Mount Vesuvius.
While the scenery is spectacular, the real highlight is the beautiful surroundings, coupled with the city’s enthusiastic support. Enthusiastic crowds in Naples line the course, helping runners through critical moments.
February weather in Naples is usually mild, around 12-15°C, providing an ideal escape from the cold and perfect racing conditions.
