Pacer 2027 Applications open

Be part of history.

At the Termal Bologna Marathon, every pacer writes a piece of history. They guide runners, encourage them, and accompany them to the finish line, transforming every kilometer into an experience of sharing and motivation. In the heart of Bologna, the city of the oldest active university in the world, pacers are the soul of the course and the reference point for those who dream of crossing the finish line with a smile.

It's not about winning, it's about being there!
