Athletics: We Run Rome, on June 18th evening we run at the Forums

(ANSA) – ROME, JUN 16 – Atleticom We Run Rome is back: the running appointment of the Capital is in the night version next June 18 (at 9.30 pm), after the classic appointment of last December 31 had been canceled in cause of the surge in Covid infections. The big news is that the road race (competitive over the distance of 10 km and non-competitive over the distances of 10 and 6 km) “will not be a simple recovery, but the first edition of a new summer format, which is added to the winter race on New Year’s Day “, explains Camillo Franchi Scarselli, president of Atleticom.

Both the start and the finish of the race will be on via dei Fori Imperiali, with the magic of the Colosseum as a backdrop to the participants, while the itinerary will take place between via del Corso, piazza di Spagna, piazza del Popolo, the Pincio … “If the last year’s version has a more competitive vocation, this one at night will be even more open to everyone, athletes of national importance but also families, young people, enthusiasts and tourists”. Olivier Irabaruta, former flag bearer of Burundi at the Rio De Janeiro Olympics and champion at Atleticom We Run Rome in 2016, stands out among the almost 7,000 entries, as well as Marco Najibe Salami and Daniele D’Onofrio, both team gold medalists in the Cup Europe on 10,000 meters.
