Venice Lido Beach Trail 2026: running between beach, sea and pine forest while staying at Hotel Giardinetto

The Venice Lido is a unique destination: an island where the beauty of the lagoon meets the sea, nature and the opportunity to experience Venice in a more authentic and relaxing way.

On 20 September 2026, the Lido will host the Venice Lido Beach Trail, a sporting event that combines the pleasure of running with the discovery of one of the most fascinating natural environments of the Venetian Lagoon. A day dedicated to outdoor sports lovers, with routes crossing the beach, the sea and the pine forest.

For those taking part in the race, or simply looking for a weekend dedicated to wellbeing and outdoor activities, Hotel Giardinetto at Venice Lido is the ideal starting point.

Venice Lido Beach Trail: a seaside running experience

Now in its fourth edition, the Venice Lido Beach Trail is the “trail on the beach” organised by Venicemarathon, created to let participants discover the Lido through a route surrounded by nature.

The event offers different distances:

• 11 km, for those who want to enjoy the complete trail experience;
• 5 km, perfect for runners looking for a shorter route;
• Family Run, designed for families who want to share the joy of sport together.

The course crosses some of the island’s most beautiful landscapes: the beach, the pine forest and the natural areas around the San Nicolò area.

Running on the sand, breathing the sea air and moving through the greenery of the pine forest makes this race much more than a competition: it is a different way to discover the charm of Venice Lido.

Staying at Venice Lido: the pleasure of an active holiday

Taking part in a sporting event is also a great opportunity to enjoy a few days away.

Staying at Hotel Giardinetto means experiencing the Lido with maximum comfort: an ideal location to reach the beach, explore the island and combine sport, relaxation and cultural experiences.

After the race, you can relax with a walk along the waterfront, enjoy the beach or easily reach Venice’s historic centre thanks to the convenient public transport connections.
