Rome Marathon: History 

Acea's link with the Marathon testifies to its profound closeness to the Capital where it has been operating for over 110 years to guarantee quality services to the territory and people every day. It was 2 April 1906 when the Emilian Dorando Pietri won the first Rome Marathon by crossing the finish line in Piazza di Siena. Some of the most significant historical moments of this sporting event include the 1960 Rome Olympics, with the feat of the Ethiopian athlete Abebe Bikila, known to all for his barefoot race. But the marathon that we all know today took shape in 1995 thanks to the Italia Marathon Club, which in just a few years made the Roma City Marathon the number one Italian race in terms of participation and importance, winning the IAAF Gold Label in 2011. In recent years, the competition has continuously evolved until reaching its current form and reputation.
