Lake Garda is a rare combination: Alpine peaks rise straight out of the water while the lakeside course stays flat and fast. The finish has moved to the Porta Orientale gardens by the La Rocca fortress, and in the evening PalaFiere hosts the NovemBeer party — already a tradition for everyone who made it to the line.
There is no official pre-race pasta party — worth factoring in when planning your dinner the night before. Bibs can be collected on Friday and Saturday, and early on Sunday morning before the start.
