What is MYTHO Marathon?
This is your chance to enter the Olympus of Marathons, the only experience that will make you proud to say...I was there. But let’s keep our feet on the ground. MYTHO Marathon is the first and only marathon in an equally unique territory: Friuli Venezia Giulia. A road race over the traditional distance of 42.195 km with an original formula: 3 different marathons and a single goal. The aim is to complete them all and enter Mytho. Will you be among those who will be able to say: did I make it?
Only those who complete the 3 competitions will be eligible to be called MYTHO and wear (with pride) the special medal. This will be assembled year after year at the end of each marathon. A new and original design, like the marathon it represents. This winter we will reveal how it will be composed.
Every year MYTHO Marathon will be run in a different place: Cividale del Friuli (2021), Sacile (2022), Aquileia (2023). Every year it will honour one of the three towns in Friuli Venezia Giulia listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Aquileia
The famous Roman town of Aquileia will crown the first runners who will complete all the three MYTHO Marathon routes in 2023. Aquileia was an important town of the Roman Empire and, years later, the main centre of the spreading of Christianity in North-eastern Europe, becoming famous for its majestic basilica. The importance of its archaeological area and the beauty of the floor mosaics it preserves allowed Aquileia to be included in the UNESCO sites in 1998.
