The Maratona di Roma is held in March every year, attracting more than 10,000 people for the marathon and another 50,000 people for the 5 kilometre Roma Fun Run. The marathon starts at on the Via dei Fori Imperiali in the shadow of the Coliseum. The run then proceeds through the narrow streets of the old city passing famous landmarks as the Piazza di Spagna, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon, the Saint Peter's and Piazza Venezia. Despite Rome being the 'City of Seven Hills' the race is very flat. This gives runners the chance of a PB. However with cobblestones en route some participants will struggle. For all those who make it to the end, they will be greeted by large crowds outside of the Coliseum.
