Biography

Arri started competing in early 1910s, but had his first major successes in 1919, when he won the Turin Marathon in a time of 2:40:47.6 and the national title over 48 km, in a time of 3:13:41. His career declined after the 1920 Olympics – he placed fourth in 1921 and third in 1923 at the Turin Marathon. Since 1996, the “Premio Valerio Arri” has been awarded to honor the winner of that race.{{cite web|url=https://www.olympedia.org/athletes/71842 |title=Valerio Arri |work=Olympedia |access-date=13 July 2021}}
