The charity moonlight half marathon

The Moonlight Half Marathon, an international running race that has now become one of the most anticipated events of the Jesolo season, is back again in the city.

This competition attracts every year thousands of runners eager to compete on a pleasant and flat course.

The start, scheduled for the late afternoon of Saturday, May 20, will be from Piazza Milano with a route that will wind through pine forest, beach and sea. A stretch facing west and thus running towards the direction of the sunset in an evocative landscape that only Jesolo can give; the race will end by moonlight for a magical atmosphere.

The event is now in its 12th edition, but it is much more than just a marathon: thanks to three different routes it aims to involve as many people as possible. In fact, in addition to the classic 21-kilometer half-marathon there is a competitive 10-kilometer run and another recreational-motor run of the same length. There is also space for the youngest with the “Jesolo family run,” a funny 3 km route dedicated to a solidarity walk and thought especially for tourists, students, families and children.

Also this year the event will aim to raise funds to support Don Gianni and the parish of St. John the Baptist in Jesolo town, one of the most important Caritas centers in the city, engaged daily in helping more than two hundred needy people by providing meal vouchers or shopping parcels.

Also in Milan Square will be the Moonlight Village, the perfect place for all those who love and live sports where it will be possible to find the most well-known organizations in the field and meet top runners. 

The village is a must to pick up your race bib and to celebrate the winner of the race all together.

During the Moonlight Party at Grifone Park, adjacent to the finish line, athletes will find massage therapists and music with deejays from Radio Bellla & Monella, Bavaria and Radio Piterpan, to have rest. In addition, if you are one of those registered for the event, on the race weekend (May 19 and 20)-showing your bib or jersey-you will have the opportunity to take advantage of a discount voucher for you and your companions to have lunch or dinner at participating restaurants and venues.
