Participation doubled compared to previous editions: the marathon, which previously attracted 700 participants, this year saw 1400 athletes at the start, according to Rocco Cilla, pacers coordinator. This is a constantly growing event, the result of the organizers' great commitment and strong motivation.

However, the total number of athletes exceeded 5500 across the 42-kilometer marathon, the 21-kilometer half-marathon, and the non-competitive 11-kilometer marathon. Among those attending the race was Neapolitan television host Massimiliano Ossini, representing Searun.
