 The event takes place in October and features both a male and female competition.The competition can be traced back further as editions of the Carpi Marathon were held in 1962, 1969, 1970 and 1985, but these were under the auspices of a separate athletics group and are not considered to be part of the current race's history.The race's current route from Maranello to Carpi began in 1999, the same year that the competition began its sponsorship arrangement with Ferrari and became known as the Memorial Enzo Ferrari, in honour of the company's founder.
