I didn't know much about “Vivicittà”, but yesterday I saw a lot of runners in Via Ricasoli.
This event is a spring
half marathon that takes place in several Italian and also European cities. I tried to catch the runners again in another part of Livorno, but they obviously outrunned me.
The winner was Andrea Gesi (race tag 53) and the second was Federico Meini (race tag 1).

Over here the winners are almost always Kenyans.
ReplyDeleteTis the season.
ReplyDeleteThose maratons are so much fun to watch. Such strong athletes!
ReplyDeleteThat's alot of runners.
ReplyDeleteThese are great VP.
ReplyDeleteI am so amazed by people who do long-distance running. Nice action shots.
ReplyDeleteExciting pictures. Good for you for running after the runners to get all these photos.
ReplyDeleteThey sure are fit. Nice to get the winner of the race as well.
ReplyDeleteoh 53 pulled it out in the end! great shots of the event!
ReplyDeleteNice action shots, VP !
ReplyDeleteHow many km did you run to take them?
Spring certainly brings out the runners. It ALL begins again.
ReplyDeleteThey look quite focused!
ReplyDeleteLove the last shot with the old guys on bikes in the background!
ReplyDeleteNice shots, VP! When we lived in South Florida, Lois Anne ran in over 50 races, including 2 marathons. I think she still holds the state's record for the 5K for her age group.
ReplyDeleteI would always go to the races and take photos - we have albums full. Unfortunately, my legs do not allow me to run!
So now you know what you need to do for next year. Outrun them! The winner noticed you... Excellent shots!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the winners.
ReplyDeleteThey appear to be in excellent shape! I admire people who run but I'd rather take photos. :))
ReplyDeleteYou captured the energy so well VP.. before they outran you :)
