thumb|The public race in 2007
The '''Milano City Marathon''' is a [marathon](/source/marathon) race held every April in [Milan](/source/Milan), Italy. It was first organised in 2000 by the Milano City Marathon Club and the first nine editions were held in November.
==History==
The 2009 edition of the race, initially set for November 2009, was shifted to April the following year.[{{cite web | url=https://milano.corriere.it/milano/notizie/cronaca/09_novembre_24/city-marathon-1602056384307.shtml | title=City Marathon, si corre fuori dal traffico | work=[Corriere della Sera](/source/Corriere_della_Sera) | date=2009-11-24 | language=it | accessdate=28 July 2021 }}] The newly scheduled event featured a marathon, [half marathon](/source/half_marathon), and [relay marathon](/source/ekiden) event. The move proved popular and at least 7213 runners took part in the activities that year.[Sampaolo, Diego (2010-04-12).

Retrieved on 2010-04-12.] At the 2011 edition, the marathon and relay events saw more than five thousand participants each, making a record total of 10,203 runners.[Sampaolo, Diego (2011-04-10).

[Barclays Bank](/source/Barclays_Bank) became the title sponsor in 2012 and 13569 people participated in the day's events, including the marathon and relay races.[Sampaolo, Diego (2012-04-15).

The 20th edition of the race, originally scheduled for 2020, was postponed to 2021 due to the [coronavirus](/source/COVID-19_pandemic) [pandemic](/source/COVID-19_pandemic_in_Italy) and [lockdown of Italy](/source/2020_Italy_coronavirus_lockdown), with all registrants given the option of receiving a 100% discount code for the 20th edition, an 80% discount for the 21st, a 60% discount for the 22nd, or a 40% discount for the 23rd.[{{Cite web|url=https://www.generalimilanomarathon.it/en/generali-milano-marathon-postponed-from-its-originale-date-work-is-underway-to-allocate-new-dates-on-the-fidal-calendar/|title = Generali Milano Marathon postponed from its originale date.
