What is the secret charm of this legendary race recognized internationally? This is definitely the "refrain" which, on time, every time I return home "after the Passatore", I place myself among the many active militants of the legendary 100 Km. Of course, the great admiration for an impeccable organization, now precise and punctual in its many details,...
Castelbolognese, April 25, 2011, 50 km of Romagna. It is the first time that I run on this distance, for me who have around 25 marathons behind me, it means "putting your nose" in the ultra world and I decided to do it to pass lightly from 42, "so much 8 Km more what you...
