. Its inaugural event was held in 1988. The event takes place in October and features both a male and female competition.

marathon has also been contested at the same time as the traditional road running
marathon.
The race has doubled up as the national Italian marathon championships on a number of occasions. The 2008 edition of the race was dedicated to the centennial anniversary of Dorando Pietri
