The record-breaking edition is closed and the 'Venicemarathon month' which involved 32,000 people comes to an end.
80,000 euros raised by the Charity Program
Soon the opening of registrations for all the races of 2023

Venice, 24 October 2022 - It's time to take stock at the Venicemarathon and, never like this year, the satisfactions are manifold. The 36th edition marks the overcoming of the period characterized by the pandemic, but above all projects the event towards new scenarios. The confirmation of the success of the new half marathon, the new marathon record in the men's field, the large numbers achieved and the strong return of foreign athletes bring Venicemarathon back to being one of the most important and fascinating events of the autumn.
Never so many and never so fast in Venice, therefore, since that distant 1986, the year in which Venice hosted one of the first marathons in Italy. But the size of an event is also calculated in terms of the wealth that falls on the territory and generates in favor of solidarity.
"We archive a memorable edition which, together with the other events organized during the year, clearly made us perceive the sporting, economic and social value that our organization represents in the area and for this reason we feel very responsible also for the future" - these are the words of the president of Venicemarathon Piero Rosa Salva.
"In the coming months - explains the coordinator Lorenzo Cortesi - we will commission an ad hoc study to calculate the effective economic impact on the territory produced by the over 4,500 registered foreign athletes and by the many runners from outside the region. I am sure that we will exceed the 10 million euros produced in the latest editions. We go back to the pre-Covid era also in terms of marketing, with companies that have finally returned to investing in sport and running. This year we had very prestigious brands at our side, which believed in and embraced all our projects with enthusiasm and for this I thank the team of sponsors and partners who have allowed us to successfully cross the finish line of Riva Sette Martiri".
In the field of solidarity, the Charity Program has already reached the extraordinary sum of 80,000 euros collected, but there will be time until the end of the year to donate and help all the associations involved.
The television images went around the world yesterday. More than 3 hours of live broadcasts were broadcast in China, Israel and New Zealand, while the 3-minute highlights were distributed by Eurovision in over 90 countries. In Italy, the race was broadcast live by Raisport and had excellent audience ratings, with truly spectacular images especially from above, and commentary by journalists Luca Di Bella and Orlando Pizzolato, a great former marathon runner.
The 36th UYN was also a marathon of numbers. 500 Civil Protection volunteers Coordinated by the Metropolitan City, 10,000 meters of barriers, over 2,000 volunteers guarding intersections and refreshment points and located in the various services.
More than 17,000 UYN® shirts were distributed, 20,000 shirts made by HOKA for the 4 Alì Family Runs. Refreshments and race packs: 100,000 bottles of Acqua San Benedetto, 30,000 ProAction products, 30,000 cans of Bavaria beer, 15,000 Alì bags for the final refreshment, 45,000 Palmisano biscuits, 15,000 bananas and 15,000 Dole oranges, 20,000 Coldiretti Venice apples and 45,000 Morato mini scrikkis Bread. For the transport of the bags, 14 trucks of Transportservice, 2 motor pontoons of the Boscolo Bielo Ivano company, 14 boats of Brussa Trasporti were used.
Yesterday also closes the 'Venicemarathon month' full of side events, which have monopolized the media and sporting attention of the entire metropolitan area of ​​Venice, but above all have involved entire generations and many students. The long celebration began last September 25 with the 1st Venice Lido Beach Trail which ran on the beach of the Venice Lido, and then continued with the five stages of the Alì Family Run (Portogruaro, Chioggia, San Donà del Piave, Dolo -Riviera del Brenta and Mestre), which involved 17,000 people who ran in favor of Giusy Versace's 'Disabili No Limits' association and to say stop to polio.
The "Marathon runner's Mass", promoted by Athletica Vaticana, was also well attended. Many were the faithful marathon runners who took part on Saturday evening in the liturgical celebration which took place in the church of San Salvador in Venice, in which the blessing of the marathon runner was imparted, translated into many foreign languages.
Happy ending also for Richard Mengich, the Kenyan athlete who finished fifth in the marathon and who collapsed to the ground immediately after the finish line. Promptly rescued by the first aid team of the Green Cross, the athlete was immediately transported to the San Giovanni e Paolo civil hospital

Venicemarathon made 32,000 people run between 42K-21K-10K and the five stages of the Alì Family Run
The patron Rosa Salva "It was the most spectacular edition ever"

Venice, 23 October 2022 - Never so many, never so fast in Venice! What has just ended in Riva Sette Martiri was the edition of records. With the introduction of the new half marathon, this year the event greeted three departures (Stra, Mestre and Parco San Giuliano), applauded 15,000 people who gave life to a spectacular colored snake that involved the entire territory of the city Metro of Venice and in recent weeks, with the five stages of the Ali Family Run, it has involved 17,000 people including students and families. But above all it was the edition of the record of the men's race, 2h08'10", signed by the Ugandan Solomon Mutai who shaved by 3 seconds the previous record (2h08'13") obtained in 2009 by the Kenyan John Komen.
The patron of Venicemarathon Piero Rosa Salva was very happy: "In 36 editions, I must confess that this was the most spectacular ever, from every point of view: the numbers of members, the record of the men's race, the very large public present along the route , the splendid images broadcast by Rai all over the world and the great bet won by the new half marathon. The 2022 edition writes a new and important page in the history of this marathon. I thank all those who made this extraordinary result possible".
Touching was the arrival of Sammy Basso, the 27-year-old from Tezze sul Brenta (VI), affected by the birth of progeria, who ran the entire Venice Marathon together with the 'Sammy Runners', about thirty runner friends, who in turn they pushed him with a special one-wheel wheelchair - the Joelette - along the entire track. Sammy and his runners took 4h47'. "This was my second time in Venice and I enjoyed it a little more because I already knew what awaited me and therefore I mentally prepared myself for the emotions. Entering Piazza San Marco, however, is always a very strong heart leap. I thank the Sammy Runners for what they have managed to do today, they are an extraordinary group".
Federico Rossi, the 28-year-old Paralympic from Schio, fresh from the great feat of having reached the Stelvio in a wheelchair, arrived at the finish line in Riva Sette Martiri upset but happy. "I love this race, I love this city and its fans and once again a tear fell as soon as we entered the lagoon".

Curiosity
Results of the more mature athletes: Fiorenza Simion (1943) who finished the marathon in 6h36'56"; Paolo Barbato (1941) in 5h34'00'. While the most 'expert' athlete ever of the three races is Sergio Molinari, born in 1936, who used 1h35'25" in the 10K.
Father Christian Barzazi who pushed his little Riccardo (9 years old) born with cerebral palsy due to perinatal asphyxia, took 4h27'47".
Don Marco Carletto, the parish priest registered for Athletica Vaticana, and who celebrated the Mass of the Marathon runner yesterday evening took 4h05'51".

Special Awards
"Porti del Veneto" Trophy - The president of the Port System Authority Fulvio Lino Di Blasio awarded Anna Vianello (58'57") and like last year Thomas Gavagnin (42'39"), the fastest employees to the finish line in the 10km.
“Sprint Trophy” - the editor-in-chief of Il Gazzettino Davide Scalzotto awarded the first Venetian to the finish line, Luigi Vivian from Vicenza (Nico Runners) 2h29'17".
The 1st Banca Ifis Trophy was presented by Banca Ifis' events and communication manager Federico Bacciolo to Alì, the company with the highest number of members.

Very faithful
The Faithful (those who raced in all the editions) today at the finish line of the 36th edition were: Giuliano Barizza 6h49'02"; Gianfranco Tagliapietra 5h24'27", Mauro Trevisan 3h50'09", Laudino Mason 5h05'40" and Vittorio Finished 3h57'08" .

The group of the 200 pacers of the 36th UYN Venicemarathon 42K-21K10
Image
Their goal, on Sunday 23 October, will be to help the athletes of the marathon, half marathon and 10K to cross the finish line of Riva Sette Martiri with a smile.
The names of the ultra marathon runner Angela Gargano, the British endurance champion Adam 'Tango' Holland, and the visually impaired pacer Chiara Pandolfi stand out.
There are 44 foreign pacers.

Venice, 7 September 2022 - In the approach path to the 36th Venicemarathon 42k-21K-10K on 23 October, as always, an important role is played by the pacers, whose task is carried out not only on the day of the race, but also in the months previous, through the interaction with the members and the sharing of advice and suggestions on the social channels of the Venice Marathon.
This year 'UYN Pacing Team' has grown considerably in numbers and internationally, thanks to an accurate selection process in Italy and abroad which has led the organizers, with the support of UYN and HOKA, to set up a team of over 200 athletes, divided into the three races.
There will be 144 'time trial angels' in the marathon alone, including 44 foreigners from South Africa and Hong Kong, as well as from all over Europe. People who enthusiastically accepted the invitation to become Venicemarathon 'ambassador' in the world and put themselves at the service of one of the most fascinating international marathons.
Many of them are well known in the world because they are authors of great companies such as Angela Gargano, the Apulian ultramarathon runner who in 2002 managed to complete 100 marathons in a single year, an undertaking by Guinness World Records, and who in 2010 set the record Italian of the 6-day race (562.330 km), while in 2020 she was the first Italian to reach the finish line of 1,000 races (696 marathons and 304 ultramarathons). Or like the British endurance champion Adam Holland, known as 'Tango', interpreter of various companies especially in endurance races and who boasts 445 races concluded between marathons and ultramarathons. And then well-known faces such as Marco Mannucci, Domenico Masiero and Alessandra Derme, who in addition to being an excellent pacer is also a strong ultratriathlete.
For the first time, this year the 2h50 'slot has also been included in the marathon and the four pacers selected to reach the finish line under the 3-hour wall are Leonardo De Toni, Giuseppe Minici and the Spaniards, Jaime Gutierrez and Marc Giron.
But the members of the 'UYN Pacing Team' were selected not only from a technical, but also from a human point of view. In fact, beautiful stories emerge, such as that of the visually impaired pacer Chiara Pandolfi, a 42-year-old marathon runner from Bergamo who, thanks to the guide and friend Ilaria Razzolini, a long-time Florentine pacemaker, has been participating in many marathons for over 10 years in the role of pacer. In Venice Chiara and Ilaria will be in the 5-hour group and their presence will represent a beautiful message for everyone.
And then there are the 'historians' of the Venice Marathon such as the twins Valerio and Cristiano Girotto, Manuel Perin, the couple Silvio Dus and Astrid Gagliardi who met and fell in love during an edition of the Venicemarathon, the stainless Francesca Spinsanti, Francesca Sanna, Daniela Schiavon and the ultramarathon runner from Barletta Mariella di Leo, pacer of great experience and historical presence at the Venicemarathon, who with her charisma this year managed to bring as many as 100 women from all over Italy to run the '100km del Passatore', waving the flag of Ukraine.
The pacer service will also be guaranteed in 21K and 10K races thanks to the collaboration with the Venicemarathon Running Team and the entire team will be dressed by the UYN and HOKA brands.
The task of the pacers will be to help the competitors to better enjoy the experience of the race, setting their pace, motivating them in times of difficulty, but also encouraging competitors to respect the rules and the environmental context in which the event takes place.
The complete list of pacers, their faces and the breakdown into the different time slots are available on the Venicemarathon Facebook page, while the videos with their advice on how to tackle the race are also available on Instagram.
They are sponsors of the 36th UYN Venicemarathon: UYN, HOKA, Alì, Banca Ifis, BMW Ceccato Motors, Pro Action, San Benedetto, Dole, 1 / 6H Sport, Palmisano, Master Aid, Bavaria, M9, Port Authority of the Adriatic Sea Northern Ports of Venice and Chioggia, APVInvestimenti, Veritas, Shokz, TDS, Fairbnb and media partners: Corriere dello Sport, Tuttosport, Correre, Sport Economy and Il Gazzettino.

Over 10,000 registered with 30% of foreigners and many 'pacers' from abroad

The UYN Venicemarathon is preparing for the final rush. There are now just under 3 months to go until the big appointment on 23 October with the Venice Marathon and the 'sister' races of 21 and 10 kilometers that will run simultaneously along the same spectacular route as the marathon, up to Riva Sette Martiri in Venice.

The great return of foreign athletes (about 30%) and the constant growth in registrations, in addition to the sold out of the 21K, lay the foundations for a thirty-sixth edition with great numbers that, after two difficult years due to the pandemic, will bring back Venicemarathon not only to be one of the most fascinating autumn marathons, but also one of the leading sporting events on the international stage.

Pacer Gondolieri
The internationality of the event is also evident from the large group of foreign athletes who enthusiastically accepted the invitation to become 'ambassador' of Venicemarathon in the world and 'official pacer' to experience the emotion of a unique event from within, making himself available to others.Of the approximately 150 athletes who will give life to the UYN Pacing Team in the marathon, 45 are the foreigners who have already confirmed their presence, coming from all over Europe and even from South Africa and Hong Kong.

This year the gondola also becomes the topic of the medal that all finishers of the 42K-21K-10K will receive after the finish. The graphics have been chosen in recent days through a virtual vote on social media that has aroused a lot of interest and which, out of 4 graphic proposals, saw the image characterized by a gondola or comb iron prevail with over 500 preferences, with its typical 'S' shape that recalls the course of the Grand Canal and its six teeth (prongs) attributable to the 6 'sestieri' of Venice. 

Running becomes a solidarity and corporate challenge

Only the T-shirt is worth the entry!

The UYN T-shirt is not a simple t-shirt, but a highly technical, light, ergonomic and highly ventilated garment, able to guarantee maximum comfort both on short and long distances. The shoulder area features the exclusive HYPERMOTION technology, made of a single piece of seamless fabric. A solution that offers a triple advantage: it eliminates any point of friction with the skin, supports the best posture while running and ensures maximum freedom of movement. In the chest and back area, UYN technicians have introduced COOLVENT technology: the structure of the fabric has a series of micro-channels that ensure a constant flow of air to the body that can quickly absorb sweat. In the strategic area of ​​the underarm, the DRYLIGHT system guarantees maximum ventilation for high comfort even during prolonged efforts.

Furthermore, the T-shirts were produced using energy from renewable sources, thus minimizing the carbon footprint. All textile waste generated in the production phase was recycled, preventing the accumulation of waste in the environment. During the production cycle, special filters prevented the dispersion of microplastic fibers in the water. In this way UYN guarantees full respect for the oceans, engaging in sustainable production for the planet and the communities that inhabit it.

The dominant colors of the 2022 edition are turquoise and blue, the shades of the sea and the sky of Venice, which are combined in different ways on the three garments. The logos of Banca Ifis, “main partner” and HOKA “official shoe” of the marathon, are also present on the t-shirt.

In the meantime, registrations for the 1st UYN Venice Half Marathon are already in the finishing straight, with very few bibs still available before the 2,000 seats made available for this first edition are sold-out. Registrations for the marathon are also proceeding very well, where there are already over 4,000 registered athletes, and for the 10K which runs fast towards the 3,000 registered athletes.
