The marathon itself begins in the nearby town in the Veneto region called Stra and will continue for the official Olympic length of a marathon – 42km and 195m. The journey continues past many Palladian villas in the mainland to the Ponte della Libertà (which connects Venice-Mestre with the historic island), past the 160m-long floating bridge made of boats over the Grand Canal to St. Mark’s Square and over thirteen existing Venetian bridges (which are handicap-friendly, meaning with ramps), to the finishing line at Riva dei Sette Martiri where the finalists can enjoy the panoramic view of the lagoon.
