Treviso Marathon 2011: enrollments are opened

Enrollment to the 8th edition of the Treviso Marathon has started yesterday. This is indeed seven months before March 27th 2011.
The enrollment fee is very low: 25 euro, and it is valid till November 18. Foreign runners can pay 20 euro, for their first partecipation, as long as they enrol for the first deadline. Runners can enrol online to the Treviso Marathon at Active Global.
The event will take place in its original date: last week of March, as it was in 2009, but not in 2010 due to Italian regional elections.
The Treviso Marathon is known for its fast and flat course through one of the most interesting city in Italy. In 2011 the route of the marathon will link the historic centers of Vittorio Veneto, Treviso, uniting the Piave river through left and right crossing Priula bridge.
Treviso is an ideal course, not only for advanced athletes, who seek their personal best. But also for novice marathoners thanks to race conditions, the support of a unique public and presumably optimal weather conditions for racing.

Custoza Marathon: the last edition

The organizers of the International Custoza Marathon have recently indicated that its last edition will take place next year on May 8th, 2011. Unfortunately, twelve years after the first edition, they have decided not to continue after 2011. Their however hope is to celebrate for the last time the arrival in the park of Villa Venier with the highest number of partecipants. Therefore registrations are already opened in the Custoza Marathon website and will close on Thursday, May 5 at 8pm or after reaching the 1,000 enrolment, since they plan to offer all the best services for such type of marathon. Two new mascots of the marathon, Botty and Tappy, have been presented on the website, to remember the runners that the Custoza marathon experience is also about celebration, with chance to do wine tasting. The registration fee is confirmed in 25 euro per runner or 40 euro per couple for special categories of mixed couples or families. As in every Italian Marathon, the medical certificate for athletic activities is mandatory.
