Races have been run in Rome since ancient times and in more recent years the 42km (26.2 miles) marathon has become a fixture, touching all the symbolic sites of the Eternal City. Beginning and ending at the northwest side of the Coliseum, the circuit passes some of Rome's finest sights - the Piazzas of Venezia, Popolo and Navona with its fountains, St Peter's Church, the Synagogue, and the Mosque. The Olympic Stadium, Pantheon, the Circus Maximus, the Theatre of Marcellus, the Trevi Fountains are all on the route, which is lined with tourists and supporters. Of course visitors have to struggle with the crowds to find a good viewpoint but this adds to the fiesta flavour of the city at this time.
