Any runners out there?

I forget which race it was, but there was a race when I was in Arezzo this past May/June. I believe it was a 5k but I might be wrong. I'll ask some of my family and see if they know more information.

apparently there is a 5K Race for the Cure in rome on May 22. The website is under construction, but I did find this: "La XII edizione della Race for the Cure di Roma si svolgerà domenica 22 maggio allo Stadio delle Terme di Caracalla, con partenza alle ore 10."

Thanks Michael, Yes I did check Runtheplanet, but could not find a list of races that I could understand. I can't get the pages to translate. We'll just ask when we get there.

Thanks very much! Lola, do you remember where you found that information?

I Googled "5K races Italy" and came up with this website, with a list of events: http://www.msadventuresinitaly.com/blog/italy-running-events/ Then I Googled "Race for the Cure Rome" and came up with a Komen Italia website, but it says it is under construction. The link to the Rome event works, but not the link to registration from there. There must be anaother way to find the info. When will you actually be in Italy?

If you share both when and where you'll be in Italy then people may be able to help you out with specific suggestions. Good luck. And when/if you're in Rome, be sure to do a lap around the Circus Maximus while thinking of the chariot races.

As a former runner. You might want to give the names of the cities and towns in Italy you plan to see. And when. With a bit of luck someone living in Italy and hopefully a runner or former runner can help you. Someone who knows the local running scene. I assume there's also an Italian counterpart to the RRCA (Road Runners Clubs of America), and local running/track club equivalents. I might even start with the local running scene. Especially the local club or race director to see if they can direct you to potential contacts. The RRCA might also have a link to the international society. Good luck.

I found someone who might be able to direct you. he Rome Hashers.
I assume they're insane. Like the Hashers in this country. Yep. Just looked at their site. Their site is risque. They're hashers. I wasn't one. But have known lots of hashers. Party animals. They are a link to the running community. http://www.rh3.it/index.htm

Hi again, We'll be in Italy May 21 - 26, staying in Panicale, traveling from there. Panicale is between Florence and Rome - a hill town. (Lots of good hill workouts:)

You guys are awesome. Thanks so much. I have lots of places to check now:) Thank you. I'd even be happy to find some local people who would like to run together. Thanks again.
