THE PASSATOR ZOPPINO AND MORE
Good legs at all! First of all sorry if my story of the Passatore I do it after almost a month but my job (air conditioners) in this period offers me only a few free hours and managing a single life plus a runner in a short time is not an easy task. So tonight I...
MY FIRST PASSATORE. I WAS THERE!
"My first Passatore" is the title of many small and large writings that I have read here and there in the folds of the internet and on the pages of the book "I was there!" tribute of the organization. It contains the feeling perhaps most present in those runners who have faced this race for the...
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL RACE IN THE WORLD
In my life I have practiced many sports but running has always had a predominant role over all the others. In 1999 I ran the "Marathon", the most beautiful, the most famous of all: the New York marathon. After this experience I thought I had reached the maximum from a running point of view but I had...
I MADE THE 100KM OF THE PASSER (BY CAR)
Saturday 26 May 2007 my husband Stefano showed up at the start of the 100 Km del Passatore in Piazza Signoria in Florence. When I announced my intention to participate in this venture about a year earlier, I had taken this threat very seriously. In fact, I thought it took a particular preparation to face such a...
MY 100, WHAT BEAUTIFUL! I’VE DONE IT FOR THE SEVENTH TIME
I left that I really didn't know what I could do: the failure to leave two years ago, the disappointment of last year when in Borgo S.L. I had sat down without being able to leave, the preparation not completed due to the influence of a month ago, the uncomfortable journey by train and -...
IMPRESSIONS ON THE 100KM OF PASSATORE
I wanted to make my impressions known about the race that was the first time I had to face it: after 50 km. of Romagna we decided, me and a dear friend, to undertake together a targeted preparation for this great race, dreamed of for many years. Beyond the advice of many people, too many advice,...
I WAS NOT THERE!
A "100km" starts much earlier ... the race is the final part, the goal to be achieved ... the beginning is in the heart, in the need for emotions, for unusual experiences; dreams in the drawer that never end !. Do you think that, despite the difficulties, it is a realizable dream, because: "EVERYTHING DEPENDS ON...
I WAS ALSO AT 100KM OF PASSATORE
The 100 km of the Passatore, the famous Florence-Faenza, the oldest of the marathons but also the most beautiful. In this race, I left my heart, I ran it too, yes I too: Antonio IERINO ', born in 1953. One hundred kilometers of racing: an unforgettable adventure. I arrive in Florence at 11.00 am accompanied by...
THE 100 KM OF PASSATORE
The thing is very simple. It is just a matter of bringing your own pile of bones, muscles and tendons from one place to another, 100 km away. Nothing more, nothing less. In short, a linear thing that does not require intelligence or particular aptitudes, does not require great skills or technique, such as, I know, a nice...
THE FIRST 100 OF DON LUCA RAVAGLIA
Don Luca Ravaglia with bib number 1016 arrived regularly at the finish line in Faenza in 979th place with a time of 19h. 54 ’02" at an average of 5h .03. Don Luca, parish priest in S. Savino in Paradiso in the city (Faenza) is also diocesan assistant for Catholic Action and responsible for the...
100KM IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF HOLY HUMILITY
Many saints were also great walkers ... Of course, once we went on foot! But theirs was a particular journey, made with the feet and the heart, with the power of the Spirit, along the paths of God: the paths of prayer, of charity, of justice, of commitment to the Church and the society of...
100KM OF EMOTIONS
Hi my name is Massimo, this year for the first time and convinced by a friend Cristian COLOMBO (14th place 2010, 10th place 2009) in January I started training a bit seriously. The more time passed, the closer the race day approached and the more I felt growing in Cristian and in other people who have...
A LONG PASSION … 100 KM
The thought begins when a cold January day intrigued by my friend (whom I will quote several times) Mimmo Jack Tamburrano, I begin to think of participating in the most beautiful race in the world or the 100 KM of the Passatore Firenze Faenza. ... 100 km already !!! January 2010: I fight with a form...
DREAMING THE 100
When by now May is in the smell of June athletes animated by heroic fervor they feel the need clear and powerful to run the "100" of the Passatore. All attracted to the epic undertaking, to test their resistance in the hope never disregarded, depart from Florence and reach Faenza. When the punctual starter starts compact overflows the huge crowd still all together, still all...
THE SECRET CHARM OF THE PASSATORE
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,...
