A weekend of tradition, beauty and sociability around Lucca

In the surroundings of Lucca there are more than 300 historic villas, country homes that merchants from Lucca built between the 16th and 19th centuries. The villas are the result of their trade throughout Europe. 

Since 1977, the "March of the Villas" has taken place in Capannori every year, it is a non-competitive race among the most followed at a national level, with around 20,000 participants. The route takes place within the historic gardens of the Villas and is therefore a unique event as it combines sport, nature and culture. There are several routes to choose from, ranging from 5 to 26 kilometres, as well as the possibility of visiting the exhibition area inside the Marlia market. 

Note: 

  • It is advisable to wear sports clothing suitable for running. 
  • The indicated price is valid for one person (minimum participation of two people is required).
