25th Anniversary of the Venice marathon

The city of Venice will be made more accessible thanks to the installation over the bridges of 13 wooden ramps that will help not only disabled people, but also the inhabitants, the runners and the tourists to run and to walk more easily in Venice.

In the first year of the project, in 2006, the ramps stayed over the bridges for 80 days at the time of the marathon, making Venice accessible for those people obliged to move with wheelchairs or that have problems managing the steps.

In 2010, on the occasion of the 25th Anniversary of the marathon, the ramps will be at the public's disposal for over 150 days, till the end of February, including the marathon day, Christmas time, the New Year’s Day and the Carnival.
