A Scottish runner, but an adoptive of Lake Maggiore since he spends his holidays on the Verbano, is the winner of the marathon. With 2h31'10" Ruairidh Gollan won the longest part of the Lago Maggiore Marathon. Among the women, Sarah Aimee L'Epee crossed the finish line first in 3h02'14". A triathlete was the winner of the 33 km, Alessandro Degasperi, in 1h57'58". Arianna Lutteri, the reigning Italian marathon champion, won the same among women. The winners of the half marathon - whose finish line was in Stresa - were Marco Giudici and Laila Francesca Hero in their respective categories. Finally, Mario Cattaneo and Martina Tognin won the 10-kilometre section.
Participating at the Lake Maggiore Marathon is always an excellent opportunity to spend a relaxing weekend beyond the competition, as the great success of each edition testifies.
If the Lake Maggiore marathon is 'the most scenic route in Italy' there is a reason why. The route passed through the most picturesque villages in the area, and unique views of the lake. This shore is also home to some of the most beautiful residences and villas on Lake Maggiore. Starting with Meina, a holiday resort known for its 19th-century villas.
But one of the main stops of the Lake Maggiore Marathon was Stresa, which is located practically halfway between Arona and Verbania. Named 'the pearl of Lake Maggiore', Stresa is one of the main tourist and cultural centres of Verbano and all of northern Italy. The Borromean Islands and the Villa Pallavicino Park are among the most popular destinations for admirers from all over the world.
Finita questa edizione della Lago Maggiore Marathon Sportway lo sguardo degli appassionati si volge subito ai prossimi appuntamenti da segnare in agenda per una nuova corsa in questo splendido territorio. Domenica 5 marzo 2023 si svolgerà per esempio la Mezza Due Laghi, un percorso ad anello che parte e arriva a Gravellona Toce, passando anche per le sponde del Lago Maggiore in prossimità di Feriolo. Domenica 14 maggio 2023 è invece in programma la Lago Maggiore Half Marathon, ulteriore evento sulla distanza di 21 chilometri, il cui percorso si svolge tra Stresa e Verbania.
If arriving by car is not possible or if you prefer to use transport, especially during sporting events, there are several ways to get to Lake Maggiore. The airports of Milan Malpensa and Bergamo Orio al Serio are connected by shuttles. By train, you can arrive directly at Arona station, but also at Stresa and Verbania-Pallanza. Since we are on the Piedmont shore of the lake, it is also possible to reach the start or stage points by boat from the towns on the Lombard shore of Lake Maggiore.
