Venice Design Week 2026: experience Venice through design, art and creativity
04/09/2026
September is one of the best times to discover Venice Lido: the days are still bright, the weather is perfect for outdoor activities and the island reveals its most authentic side, between beaches, nature and lagoon landscapes.
On Sunday 20 September 2026, the Venice Lido Beach Trail returns, a sporting event that invites runners and outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy a unique experience in one of Venice’s most fascinating settings: a route through sand, sea, dunes, pine forests and breathtaking lagoon views.
For those taking part in the race, accompanying a runner or simply looking for a different weekend in Venice, Relais Alberti is the ideal place to stay and discover the Lido in an authentic and relaxing atmosphere.
Venice Lido Beach Trail: running between sea and nature in Venice
The Venice Lido Beach Trail is a special race that combines the passion for running with the beauty of a unique natural environment.
The route crosses some of the most characteristic areas of Venice Lido: the beach, coastal dunes, pine forests and green areas that make this island so different from the Venice most visitors know.
Running with the sound of the sea nearby, breathing the fresh lagoon air and crossing landscapes where nature and water meet makes this event an experience that goes beyond sport.
The event offers different distances to involve participants with different levels of preparation: from the competitive course to more accessible routes dedicated to those who want to enjoy the day at a slower and more relaxed pace.
A sporting weekend at Venice Lido
Taking part in the Venice Lido Beach Trail 2026 is the perfect opportunity to turn a race into a real holiday discovering the area.
After the run, Lido invites visitors to slow down and enjoy its special atmosphere: a walk on the beach, a sunset aperitif, a bike ride through the island’s streets or a visit to the charming historic village of Malamocco.
Away from the busy streets of the historic centre, Lido offers a rare balance between nature, sea and culture: a place where Venice can be experienced at a slower and more authentic pace.
Staying at Venice Lido during the Venice Lido Beach Trail
Choosing where to stay is essential to fully enjoy a sporting event.
Located in the heart of Malamocco, one of the oldest villages in the Venetian lagoon, Relais Alberti welcomes guests in a historic residence filled with authentic charm.
The peaceful location of the relais allows guests to combine the convenience of staying on the Lido with the pleasure of a relaxing experience before and after the race.
After a day dedicated to sport, guests can return to the comfort of elegant rooms, discover the charm of hidden Venice and enjoy the intimate atmosphere of an ancient lagoon village.
Discover Venice Lido in September
On 20 September 2026, the Venice Lido Beach Trail will be an opportunity to discover a different side of Venice: greener, more natural and closer to the sea.
An event for those who love sport, but also for travellers wishing to explore a lesser-known side of the city, made of landscapes, tranquillity and authentic Venetian experiences.
Whether you take part in the race or simply choose to spend the weekend at the Lido, Relais Alberti welcomes you to discover the charm of a Venice far from the most crowded routes.
