Dear Sport Friends

It is with great honor and sincere pleasure to send you this invitation regarding the Marathon World Championships
for Juniors, Under 23 and Seniors to be held from 21th to 23th September in Rome, in agreement with the ICF Official
Calendar.
On 19 and 20th September 2012 the Masters World will take place.

1. Venue
The Marathon World Championships event will take place on the River Tiber, in Rome.
Rome is located approximately in the middle of the Italian peninsula and therefore it is easily reachable
either from the north or from the south of the country. The capital is well connected to the rest of Italy
and the world, thanks to the two airports and the excellent highway and train systems.

3. Provisional Course
The marathon race of the World Championships will take place on the River Tiber.
The start and finish line and the portage will be in the same area. There will be two turning points all
marked with five small red buoys. The Start will be a held start, and the first 1450 mtr. will be straight
to turning point 1.
From the last turning point (2) to the finish line will be 700 mtr.
All around the course the depth of the water will be at least 3 metres.
A 70 metres portage is placed on the bank of the river near the finish line.
The portage areas are clearly shown by guide ropes and marked with red and yellow marks at the
disembarkation and embarkation places. The disembarkation will be on pontoons, and the embarkation
