The Chianti Classico Marathon is not just for experienced runners—it’s also a perfect opportunity to enjoy the beauty of the region at a slower, more relaxed pace, immersed in nature and the authentic flavors of Tuscany.
The 10 km leisure walk and Nordic Walking route is ideal for those who want to take part in the event without the pressure of competition, whether walking or running, with the freedom to choose your own rhythm.
A renewed route for 2025
Starting and finishing in the charming Piazza Vittorio Veneto in Mercatale Val di Pesa, the 2025 edition features a new twist: the route has been reversed compared to the 2024 edition, offering participants a fresh perspective and a new way to experience the Chianti landscape. The trail winds through scenic country roads, vineyards, olive groves, and small villages that tell the story of Chianti Classico’s heritage.
The food and wine refreshment at Fattoria Il Querceto
A highlight of the experience is the generous food and wine refreshment stop, located at the 5 km mark, halfway through the route. At the scenic Fattoria Il Querceto, participants will be welcomed with a rich selection of Tuscan specialties, designed to refresh and delight:
- Ribollita (Tuscan vegetable and bread soup)
- Pappa al pomodoro (tomato and bread soup)
- Farro salad
- Tuscan crostini with liver pâté
- Bruschetta
- Bread with extra virgin olive oil
- Bread with wine and sugar
- Bread with hazelnut spread
- Fruit tarts
- Bananas
Beverages include water, tea, cola, mineral supplements, and, for those who wish, a glass of Chianti Classico wine—a true toast to the beauty of the region and the joy of shared journeys.
An experience for everyone
This is a non-competitive walk, open to all, regardless of age or fitness level. It’s perfect for families, groups of friends, casual walkers, or anyone who wants to enjoy nature, wellness, and the flavors of the Chianti countryside.
