The Maratona di Roma (Marathon of Rome) is not only a race for athletes with a capital “A”. In fact, as is tradition, the party will be complete with the more than 60,000 protagonists of the Roma Fun Run, the non-competitive 4k (also known as "Stracittadina", as it was called until 2008). More than a race, it is a leisurely walk to which anyone can participate. Classmates, grandparents and grandchildren, parents and children, together with their favourite domestic animal, on skates… well, as every year, the emotion of being there is the main reason for which thousands of people won’t want to miss out. The Stracittadina Fun Run, one of the many races of its kind with one of the highest participation rates in the world, awaits all in the centre of Rome on March, 22nd 2009 (Colosseo, meeting point: 8:00am - start: 9:15am), immediately following the start of the 42,195k Marathon.
FREE transportation (buses, trams, underground) is provided to athletes on March the 22nd. Just wear your bib number! Underground for free from 6am to 8.30 am ("Colosseo" and "Cavour" stations can be used gratis also from 10am to 6pm).
