The chip must be returned in the appropriate boxes in the arrival area to our staff, even for athletes not started. For retired athletes, however, the return of the chip will also be possible along the path at the refreshment points.

Failure to return the chip will result in a debt of € 20 with the organization, which will reserve the right to charge it at the next year’s registration. In case of non-participation or withdrawal from the race, the chip must be sent to the organization within 40 days. FIRENZE MARATHON – Viale M. Fanti, 2 – 50137 Florence.
