Speed, history and timeless charm

A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995, its historic centre offers a spectacular stage where sport meets culture, set against the timeless beauty and unmistakable energy of one of Europe’s oldest cities.

In less than three weeks, the curtain will rise on the spectacular course of the Coelmo Napoli City Half Marathon, welcoming 10,000 runners from all over the world.

In the year when Naples holds the title of European Capital of Sport 2026, the city is undergoing important urban renewal works that will further enhance its beauty. As a result, Napoli Running has implemented minor adjustments to the course, which remains exceptionally fast and visually stunning.

Emotion and spectacle, beauty and speed, combined with ideal racing conditions (average temperatures around 10°C / 50°F). On Sunday, 22 February, the journey of the Coelmo Napoli City Half Marathon begins from Viale J.F. Kennedy, with eyes set on a new course record.

Scheduled for Sunday, 22 February 2026, the Coelmo Napoli City Half Marathon also boasts a unique distinction: it holds both the Italian men’s and women’s national half marathon records, making it the only race in Italy to claim this achievement.

The event also embraces inclusivity and social engagement with non-competitive races open to everyone, no federation membership or medical certificate required.
