Well, trust in the good faith of the organizers, but there are some defections that we can not ignore, especially for those athletes who have traveled more than 500 km to the center of Calabria, but even more so for those magnificent 72 runners who have the endless path 42 km and 195 meters.
a marathon runner that I am, I want to focus only on certain aspects: Supplies, medal, goody bag and Path.
After 21 km at the tables in only water supply was preesnte, Marathon also requires some integration of fruit and maybe a little bit of carbohydrates - unfortunately in Reggio Calabria runners along the way asked passersby to help them, remember a fallen athlete in a downtown hotel to stockpile supplies.
Great disappointment has been externalized from the athletes that while completing the marathon, not being returned to class, have not attained well-deserved medal.
runners have carried out a wave after the second round of slalom against some of the population Reggina, brings it to practice Sunday walk on the road / path Marathon.
also disappointed expectations on the race package, we talked about magazines for a marathon race pack costituio Tenice for runners and leaders from local produce - I have not seen.
A year passes quickly, I hope that the organization of the Marathon Mediterrane can immediately correct the shot, using mainly the experience of so many runners that run every Sunday in all cities of Italy.
