The fourth edition of the LAKE GARDA 42 running event, along the northern shores of Lake Garda in Italy, has a new title sponsor: FILA. To be held on Sunday April 6, 2025, there will be 5,000 bibs for runners, equally divided between the marathon and half-marathon distances.
The third edition of the X-BIONIC-sponsored LAKE GARDA 42, took place over the weekend of April 12-14, 2024. According to the event organising team, it set a new participation record with more than 4,200 registered runners from 72 countries.
From next year’s edition, the event will be called FILA LAKE GARDA 42 and will offer the traditional LG42 marathon and LG21 half marathon. The routes of the two main races will remain unchanged: the LG42 marathon will start from Limone sul Garda, pass through Arco and Riva del Garda in Garda Trentino, and arrive in Malcesine. Meanwhile, Arco di Trento and Malcesine are confirmed as the starting and finishing line of the LG21 half-marathon.
Now South Korean-owned and headquartered in Seoul, FILA’s origins are in Italy. The sports brand was born in 1911 in the province of Biella.
“We are thrilled to announce our title sponsorship partnership with the LAKE GARDA 42 2025,” said Peter Bader, Marketing Director at FILA Europe.
“This event represents more than just a race. It’s a celebration of community and it’s the essence of beauty in performance, everything FILA stands for. We look forward to an inspiring journey ahead and are excited to contribute to making the 2025 marathon the most memorable yet.”
