Discover the Thrilling Route of the 2025 Mille Miglia: A Revival of Legendary Pre-War Races
Once again, the Mille Miglia surprises us, drawing inspiration from its rich historical depths for its 43rd re-enactment.
Following last year’s successful anti-clockwise route, the 2025 edition, scheduled from Tuesday, 17 to Saturday, 21 June, will see the Red Arrow retracing the iconic pre-war races. It will adopt a "figure eight" course similar to the original first 12 editions of the Mille Miglia speed race, confirming a five-day race format for the third consecutive year.
On Tuesday, 17 June, over 400 cars will journey through Desenzano, Sirmione, Verona, Bovolone, and Ferrara, concluding the day in San Lazzaro di Savena, Bologna. The next day, competitors will navigate the challenging Raticosa and Futa Passes, mirroring the 1930s racers. The route will then lead through Prato and Siena towards Rome before turning northward.
Post Rome, the race continues north with the Red Arrow passing through Orvieto, Foiano della Chiana, Arezzo, and San Sepolcro before the cars head to San Marino and conclude the third leg in Cervia-Milano Marittima. On day four, described as the world’s most beautiful race, the Mille Miglia 2025 will traverse east to west Italy. Starting from Cervia, the route touches Forlì and crosses the Apennines to Empoli, intersecting the earlier route to Rome. The journey heads west to Pontedera and along the Tyrrhenian coast via the Italian Naval Academy in Livorno, ascending through Viareggio and the Cisa Pass to end in Parma.
On the final day, the racers will complete the event where it began. After traversing over 1000 miles in five days, the finishing parade will joyfully receive the weary yet elated drivers on the Viale Venezia in Brescia.
