Venice under the stars: experience the Venice Night Trail 2026

Have you ever thought about running at night through narrow streets, bridges, and small squares, with the lights reflecting on the lagoon? If the answer is yes, then the Venice Night Trail 2026 is the event for you.

Running Venice at night: a unique experience
The Venice Night Trail is not just any race. It’s a perfect mix of sport and emotion: 16 km of route, over 50 bridges to cross, and the most beautiful city in the world as your backdrop. No cars, just your legs, the sound of water in the canals, and the energy of fellow runners who, like you, have chosen to experience Venice in a different way.

Why participate

• It’s a race, but also a journey: running through the calli lets you discover Venice from an unusual perspective, away from the daytime crowds.
• Magical atmosphere: the night lights, the silence of the lagoon, and the adrenaline of the competition create an experience you will hardly forget.
• An opportunity for everyone: you don’t need to be an expert marathoner; a little training and a lot of enthusiasm are enough.

After the race… relax!
After 16 km and dozens of bridges, all you need is one thing: a comfortable place to recharge. At Hotel Giardinetto, on the Lido of Venice, you’ll find the perfect solution: cozy rooms, lagoon-view breakfast, and the tranquility of the Lido, just a few minutes from the historic center.
