The event in a few words

Speed up, speed up โšก๏ธ

If this quote speaks to you, it's because you are a fan of F1 and you know the Monza circuit ๐Ÿค“. Engine on, cardio ready to heat up, tires sneakers well inflated: you are ready to start the Run For Life at Monza ๐ŸŽ๏ธ. This event is the only race where you can feel like Charles Leclerc ๐Ÿ”ด on the starting grid and Kipchoge in the elite corral ๐Ÿƒ. This time, no fuel, but a good dose of adrenaline to boost you โšก๏ธ. In March, you have a rendezvous on the famous Monza F1 circuit for a charitable race in the heart of Lombardy ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น. 21, 10 or 5 km, it's up to you to choose your circuit ๐Ÿ›ฃ๏ธ.

We start right away by setting the scene ๐Ÿ“. Nothing less than the legendary Monza circuit, famous for its speed and its many Grand Prix ๐Ÿ†. You'll take the same route as the greatest champions. But here, no red flag ๐Ÿšฉ, no safety car ๐Ÿš” just a mythical circuit ready to welcome you under the Lombard atmosphere of Italy ๐ŸคŒ. By the way, we don't want to put pressure on you, but the speed record during a Grand Prix was set at Monza ๐Ÿ’จ. The speed you have to beat is 370 km/hโ€ฆjust that (it's 9.74 seconds per kilometer, easy ๐Ÿค ). Even Kipchoge succeeds at this level! โœ‹ Besides taking place in an exceptional location, Run For Life is a charitable race ๐Ÿซถ. The funds raised will help replant the Monza Park, a green jewel that was ravaged after the storms of 2023 ๐ŸŒณ. Thousands of trees were uprooted, so the mission is to get nature back on the starting grid ๐Ÿ. Thanks to the last edition, more than 30 large trees have already taken root along the Mirabellino boulevard ๐Ÿ™Œ. You will run on International Women's Rights Day ๐Ÿ’œ, an opportunity to celebrate this important day. This event will bring together runners from all backgrounds on the starting line, ready to burn rubber for a worthy cause ๐Ÿ”ฅ. So, whether you're a seasoned driver of the half-marathon or a fan of the 5 km, you'll find your happiness ๐Ÿฅน.

After your fabulous race, make a pit stop in the region๐Ÿšฆ. Italy is famous for its architecture and gastronomy, so why not enjoy it? ๐Ÿคช Stroll through the Monza park (one of the largest in Europe ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡บ), visit the royal villa, the majestic Theodelinde, the duomo of Monza or even the piazza Roma. And if you want to go a little further, you are just an hour from Milan. There, you can load up on pasta, pizza, and risotto: everything you need for recovery ๐Ÿ. Buon appetito ๐Ÿฝ๏ธ.

So, ready to brush the kilometers / seconds? ๐Ÿ’ฅ
