With 1000 athletes who will start from via Feliciano Rossitto, the 19th edition of the Ragusa Marathon, Emiliano Ottaviano memorial, scheduled for Sunday, it can be said that it has already hit the mark.
In fact, it will be able to fill the city of Ragusa with athletes who will compete in various distances and disciplines. At 8 the marathon runners will start and then all the others will follow until they pass through Piazza San Giovanni where lovers of exercise will converge with the Family run to cross the finish line in Ibla near Piazza GB Hoggi.
“The mayor, Peppe Cassì and the councilor for Sport, Simone Digrandi – we read in the note released by the organizers – have always believed in this event to start the year with an event that manages to bring hundreds of tourists to Ragusa sportsmen in an off-season period”. The Asd No to doping Ragusa with the Iblei territorial Uisp will take care of the technical-organizational part starting from Saturday with guided tours of churches and palaces in Ragusa Ibla organized by the Novum 1693 cultural construction site association.
“It is announced – underlines Guglielmo Causarano, patron of the event – an event with large numbers. We started quietly years ago. Today the Ragusa Marathon has become an event that attracts everyone and we are very proud of this. Athletes will arrive from all over Italy as well as from outside. It will be a beautiful day of sport that we invite everyone to attend.”
