Run your best! We're waiting for you at the Garda Half Marathon!

Stay at Locanda Restel de Fer: quality sleep and a power breakfast will give you the energy you need to cross the finish line of the Garda Half Marathon, against the unique backdrop of Lake Garda.

Every autumn, the Garda Half Marathon transforms the northern shore of Lake Garda into a lively circuit, establishing itself as a prominent event on the international running scene.
The event celebrates the perfect harmony between athletic challenge and scenic beauty, offering a memorable experience.

The main distance is the classic Half Marathon: 21.097 km .
The race winds through Riva del Garda, Arco, and Torbole , offering participants a continuous sequence of evocative views: from the calm waters of the lake to the historic olive groves, with the imposing backdrop of the Trentino mountains.
The course is particularly popular with athletes for its linearity and speed, characteristics that make it ideal for attempting a personal best.

The event is concentrated over the weekend, culminating on Sunday 8 November 2026 with the main departures from the Palafiere in Riva del Garda (Via Baltera):

  • Half Marathon (21.097 km): Start at 10:15 a.m. - PalaFiere in Riva del Garda

  • 10K Garda Trentino: Start at 9:30 a.m. - PalaFiere in Riva del Garda

  • Run4Fun (4 km): A non-competitive option for amateurs and beginners.
    Departure at 9:00 a.m. - Customs House in Torbole sul Garda

Saturday 7 November 2026 is dedicated entirely to the very young with the AGS Garda Kids Run.
This non-competitive race offers short, age-appropriate courses, allowing children
to experience the thrill of the race and the energy of the event in a safe and festive setting, with the start scheduled for this afternoon.
The event dedicated to children will take place in the historic center of Arco, in Piazzale Segantini.

The PalaFiere in Riva del Garda acts as the beating heart of the initiative, hosting the Expo and the collection of bibs starting from Friday, and confirms itself as the main meeting point for all athletes and their companions.
