Starting on the 15th of March, Rome's annual marathon route passes some of the city's most famous monuments, including the Colosseum and St Peter's Basilica, the main synagogue and mosque.
 
Certainly a scenic tour, if you manage to worry about anything but your aching feet!

Even though the race itself takes place on 17 March, Rome begins celebrating three days in advance with the Marathon Village, an initiative that includes concerts, shows, stalls and meetings throughout the city.
