On the occasion of the marathon, it opens its gates to accommodate all the pre-race services up to the moment of entering the starting corrals. The first part of the route develops along the Riviera del Brenta with its numerous Venetian villas built in the eighteenth century by Venetian nobles. The show goes on when the athletes run along the water and canals in a unique context in the world, crossing also the 166-meter-long floating bridge, specially set up for the event, that gives the athletes the evocative sensation of running on water. The entrance into St. Mark's Square is also very impressive and very characteristic it is also the finish line set in Riva Sette Martiri, near the "Giardini della Biennale", which host the various pavilions of the biennial exhibition of Art and Architecture where all the post-race services are set up.

All athletes who run with tourist-sporting goals can compete in the not agonistic race and it’s enough to sign and upload the Venicemarathon liability waiver form.
