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 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.
Every year MYTHO Marathon will be run in a different place: Grado (2024), Gorizia (2025), Nova Gorica (2026). Every year it will honour one of the three towns in Friuli Venezia Giulia and Slovenia.

Grado
The Venetian charm of the old centre of Grado, an elegant seaside town, is seen in its narrow streets and little squares bordered by picturesque fishermen’s homes will host the fourth edition of the MYTHO Marathon. Grado was once part of the Austro-Hungarian empire and it was a favourite destination for the Habsburg aristocracy who visited the island from the 19th century onwards to partake in sea bathing and to enjoy the island’s excellent Sea Spa. Indeed, the spa is still known for its blend of health and beauty, the ideal place for regenerating and rejuvenating the mind and body.
