Yet another great success for the 7th CMP Venice Night Trail which lit up the Venetian night last night


Venice, 2 April 2023 – A veritable dancing light show lit up the heart of the historic center of Venice yesterday evening, giving life to the 7th CMP Venice Night Trail, the 16-kilometre night trail and 51 bridges, organized by Venicemarathon, and which recorded yet another great success of participants with 5,000 athletes at the start, including many foreigners.


Confirmed the prediction of the eve, with the fourth consecutive victory of the home athlete Nicolò Petrin, pleasantly renamed 'the flying baker' because of his profession as a baker which alternates with a sports career. Licensed for the Vicenza Marathon, Nicolò set the best time ever, completing the 16 kilometers and 51 bridges in 59'22". “It's always nice, and never taken for granted, to reconfirm and I'm really happy with this victory. Tonight there were the ideal conditions to race well even though I've been awake for almost 20 hours now due to my work. Every year the charm of Venice is always different”.


Behind him came Filippo Barizza, Venetian athlete wearing Atl colours. Dolomiti Belluno who remained together with Petrin up to the 14th kilometre, suffering in the final the deadly stretch of the flying baker. Third step for the Trentino Luca Vivaldi of ASd Stivio Running.

Dolomiti Belluno which won in 1h11'28": "It's the first time I've taken part in this event and I found it very demanding and different from the mountain trails due to the many changes of pace, but really very fascinating. I suffered a bit from the humidity, but I'm happy to have won tonight". Second, with a gap of 1'35", came Vania Rizzà of the Atl. Bassano Running Store and third Martina Zanette (1h14'22").


The river of lights left punctually at 9.00 pm from the Cruise Terminal 123 of the Marittima of the Port of Venice, the one that until a few years ago was the docking place for large cruise ships, on an evening characterized by crisp temperatures, but heated by the warmth and enthusiasm of the many runners.


The magic of the race ignited when the athletes activated their front torches, on the notes of the Hymn of San Marco and the Hymn of Italy, to then give life to a very long luminous snake that entered the dark of the city , illuminating the most suggestive areas of the historic center by torchlight, with passages on the Calatrava bridge, in Piazza San Marco, on the Accademia bridge and at the Basilica della Salute.


With its large and welcoming internal and external spaces, the terminal was therefore transformed for the occasion first into the 'home' of the runners, with all the pre-race services, and then into a sort of open-air disco, made so by the music by deejay Dacj and the spotlights mounted on the finish portal that helped make the event a great party, which began just before the start with wild zumba choreographies and ended well after midnight with the arrival of the last competitors, always to the rhythm of music.


The event was also experienced in a festive way by the 90 Inail employees, coming from every corner of the Veneto and led by the energetic regional manager Enza Scarpa, who took part in the race with great enthusiasm, to demonstrate the effectiveness of movement and sport in general as a tool for psychophysical well-being and social cohesion.


During the evening, the special 'Honda Italia' prize was also awarded to Martina Comisso, first classified woman in the province of Venice. The trophy was presented by the exponents of the Japanese brand, from this year's 'Main Partner & Official Car' of the event, Costanza Sabatini and Riccardo Massa, who expressed their great appreciation for the excellent success of the event.


Paola Gazzola and Nicolò Rossignoli of CMP, title sponsor of the event for 5 years, were also enthusiastic about the umpteenth success of this event, who awarded the winners of the race together with the representatives of Venicemarathon Piero Rosa Salva, Stefano Fornasier and Lorenzo Cortesi.


"This year the weather conditions have been decidedly better than last year, but in the future we will also order a few more degrees - joked the vice mayor of the Municipality of Venice Andrea Tomaello at the start, who then continued  - the high number of athletes foreigners demonstrates how this event attracts tourists who like to visit the city in a completely unusual way: a concept of tourism that we like very much! On my behalf and on behalf of the Municipality of Venice, I thank Venicemarathon, all the forces of order and the associations involved and the many volunteers along the route for the great organizational effort".


Great satisfaction also in the Venicemarathon house: “We experienced a truly amazing edition and it was impressive to see so many competitors parading under the starting arch, in a truly fascinating and unique choreography of lights. On the other hand, running in Venice at night only happens at the CMP Venice Night Trail and we are aware of the enormous potential of this event, which we will be able to grow further gradually and with the utmost respect for the context in which it takes place. I just have to thank the Municipal Administration, the title sponsor CMP and all the companies that support this event, the Port Authority for having hosted us, the Police Forces, the Green Cross, the Civil Protection and the many volunteers as always at the our side” – these are the words of the president of Venicemarathon Piero Rosa Salva, at the end of the event and after waiting almost 4 hours for the last competitor to deliver the 'bricola', the special souvenir medal.

At the finish line, the athletes will receive the Alì-branded final refreshment kit with San Benedetto water, ProAction supplements, a 33cl can of Bavaria Premium, and some delicacies from the Palmisano ovens.


Medal - The medal, which all finishers will receive at the finish line immediately after refreshment, is once again a tribute to the city of Venice. It is about 'Bricola', that is, the three wooden poles tied together and placed in the water, to signal the low tide and the navigable canals: a distinctive element of the Venetian lagoon and a collector's item for its uniqueness.


Awards - Immediately after the arrival, the first three men and the first three women who will reach the finish line will be awarded. The category awards will be made afterwards and all the winners will be contacted by e-mail.
Honda Italia will also award the first woman to finish in the province with the 'Honda Trophy'.

Parking - Close to the start and finish area, the 1,000 parking spaces made available free of charge by the organization were all quickly sold out. In the nearby Tronchetto area, however, the following many parking lots are available: Tronchetto Parking, Parking P5, Parking 280, Isola del Tronchetto, all close to the starting area and in any case connected with a circular shuttle service that will take the athletes to the Village. Furthermore, the organizers recommend compacting the cars, arriving in Venice at least three per vehicle, leaving the other cars free of charge in San Giuliano Park (Porta Gialla) with a copy on the dashboard.


Time Limit - The time limit is 3 hours.


Also on this occasion Venicemarathon runs together with the Tourism Directorate of the Veneto Region towards the goal of sustainability. Through the Take It Slow project, funded under the Interreg Italia Croatia programme, the Region is carrying out a series of interventions to enhance the tourist offer by focusing on awareness and respect, both for the environment and for people, to create in Veneto increasingly sustainable and accessible destinations, considering everyone's needs. On the occasion of the 7th CMP Venice Night Trail, participants were invited to answer a few short questions, which will help to understand everyone's impact on the environment in everyday life, between home, work, travel and food. Points are awarded for each answer and the first 50 athletes who rank among the most virtuous will receive a €10 discount voucher to be used for the next edition of the Venice Night Trail!


The event, like all the events organized by Venicemarathon, adheres to the #EnjoyRespectVenezia project and all participants have been invited, right from the registration stages, to adopt responsible and respectful behavior towards the city, its inhabitants and the environment. On the other hand, the trail, by its nature, provides for an approach to the race that is less oriented towards chronometric performance but more sensitive to the landscape context in which it takes place.
