Head to the beautiful Lazio region, to the coastal town of Fiumicino, a stone's throw from the Italian capital ๐ฎ๐น. The festivities menu invites you to take part in a true end-of-year classic: the famous Best Woman. Don't be fooled by its name at all: while the event has historically and beautifully highlighted women's participation, men also line up in droves at the starting line! Your body will have to swallow an official, super-fast 10-kilometre distance. The elevation profile is absolutely flat. It's the dream playground to get your legs spinning at full speed before the winter break โฑ๏ธ.
The asphalt route launches you straight through the avenues of this bustling seaside city. Your effort will be lulled by the gentle breeze of the sea Tyrrhenian and the salty scent of the great harbour. The immersion becomes very rhythmic as you string together the long straightaways of the course. You'll have the exhilarating feeling of gliding over the tarmac, carried by a perfect roadway and a route tailor-made to avoid the slightest harsh surge or break in pace ๐.
Local fervour turns this race into a huge celebration of the stopwatch. Forget solo racesโhere the pack mentality reigns, as you go hunting together for the best possible time under the encouragement of the crowd gathered on the pavements ๐ฃ.
Keep a hearty appetite to do justice to Fiumicino's fabulous seafood gastronomy once your medal is around your neck. Carry your body to the old harbour to devour a fabulous Fritto misto (a mixed seafood fry), nice and crispy, or a steaming plate of Spaghetti alle vongole (with clams) ๐. Then take your loved ones for a stroll near the magnificent Ostia Antica archaeological park, located just a few minutes away, for an unforgettable historical interlude amid the Roman ruins. Shift up a gear and come make Lazio's asphalt shine! ๐ฅ
