24th Garda Trentino Half Marathon

About the event

The Garda Trentino Half Marathon is an international road race. The route heads toward the cycle path along the Sarca river — the fourth-longest river in Trentino and the main tributary of Lake Garda — passing through Torbole, an area known for sailing and windsurfing, before continuing toward Riva.

The 21 km distance is also open to nordic walkers, who start at the back of the group, and to anyone who feels able to complete it. Race packages combining accommodation and the event are available for both the 21 km and 10 km distances.

A children's event, the Garda Kids Run, takes place in Arco.

Getting to Arco

Leave the A22 at Rovereto Sud/Lago di Garda Nord and follow the SS240 towards Riva, turning off for Arco; from the north you can also exit at Trento Nord and drive down the Sarca valley on the SS45bis. The nearest station is Rovereto, with Trentino Trasporti buses to Arco, Riva and Torbole. The Sarca cycle path runs from Arco to the lake at Torbole.

Parking: The Caneve car park is the usual starting point for the Sarca cycle path to Torbole; the Carmellini car park is another common base for rides and walks.

About Arco

Arco lies a few kilometres inland from Riva, where the Sarca valley widens and a limestone crag topped by the Castello di Arco rises above olive groves.
