ITALY COAST TO COAST 2012- TEAM RELAY ACROSS ITALY FROM JUNE 1ST TO JUNE 5TH 2012 – 12TH EDITION
Italy Coast to Coast is a relay race for teams of 4 participants. 4 legs. 400 km, from the Adriatic Sea to the Tyrrhenian Sea, through Marche, Umbria and Tuscany.
...Slow racing through nature to discover the real Italy: a country comprised of small towns, countryside, hills, mountains. An adventure, a race, a voyage.
The philosophy:
Forget the stopwatch, quit thinking about how fast you’re going. Let go of the stressful quest for a good result; the personal record that usually comes with a running competition. Relax, run and take in your surroundings: a slice of Italy that inspires travelers to fall in love.
Welcome to Italy Coast to Coast: a run that – instead of being just a difficult competition – is an evocative trip, almost mystical, along which travelers will encounter the unexpected.
IMPORTANT! ENTRIES WILL BE CLOSED WITH MAX 15 TEAMS/60 RUNNERS.
