Run Rome set for March 22
Run Rome The Marathon kicks off at 8:30 AM on Sunday, March 22 from Via dei Fori Imperiali — expect major traffic and public‑transport changes across the city that weekend (canaledieci.it). If you’re following the route or planning spectator spots, factor in transit delays and route closures. (canaledieci.it).
Organisers report roughly 36,000 registered runners for the 31st edition, with participants from about 166 countries. (romamobilita.it)) The field is released in timed waves: wheelchair and push-runners first, followed by five competitive waves staged at successive 10–15 minute intervals (wheelchair 08:00; waves at 08:10, 08:20, 08:30, 08:45 and 09:00). (runromethemarathon.com)) Ancillary events include the Acea Run4Rome relay (first leg start 09:15), the Saturday 5K fun run (start 09:00), and an Expo Village set up from Thursday, March 19. (runromethemarathon.com)) The municipal traffic plan calls for large-scale closures across central corridors and stretches of the Lungotevere, with the city largely restricted during the morning and early afternoon (closures broadly listed between 07:00 and 15:00). (comune.roma.it)) ATAC has published a detailed program of bus suspensions, diversions and stop changes for race day, warning that many urban lines will be suspended or rerouted and that normal service will be restored progressively in the afternoon. (atac.roma.it)) Official race services include live tracking and timing for participants, Sportograf race photography, and pre-race "Get Ready" group runs organised by the event team.
