Bologna has been one of Europe’s most education-conscious cities throughout history and is also the motherland of gourmet tastes, so get ready to race! Now in its sixteenth year, Run Tune Up is set amongst the jaw-dropping architectural and historical beauty of Bologna, also known as the "red city". Thanks to the half marathon, the perfect opportunity to discover the city is right at your feet. The 21km route, which starts and finishes amongst the magnificent buildings of the Piazza Maggiore, is steeped in history throughout. The half marathon is the main reason why many tourists from across Europe visit the city, so we recommend you don’t waste any time before applying. We should also make sure you know that Run Tune Up, a sporting event and historical tour of the city all rolled into one, also offers you the option to participate by completing only half of the course. Furthermore, the feedback on the event’s official website is extremely effective if you want to bolster your excitement about the marathon even more.
