Run Rome The Marathon 2023: the spring kickoff
Roman spring began early on the astronomical calendar. On Sunday, March 19, a day dedicated to St. Joseph and fathers, the sky over Italy's capital city, which was a bit cloudy, was immediately transformed when the Run Rome The Marathon 2023. Twenty-eighth edition of the historic marathon that opens the season of rebirth. Runners, Romans, tourists and travelers welcomed spring by participating or even just skimming the event. Beyond its sporting value, it is a great collective celebration.
The 2023 edition saw marathon runners Taoufik Allam and Betty Chepkwony triumph, crossing the finish line first, which, however, was reached by more than eleven thousand runners. There were fourteen thousand registered runners, of whom more than seven thousand came from abroad.
Making Run Rome 2023 even more spectacular was the double passage of the Tricolored Arrows. The airplanes literally erased the gray clouds scattered across the Capitoline sky. There was also no shortage of space dedicated to opera music, with Carlo Assogna. The tenor sang the Inno d'Italia and Puccini's aria Nessun dorma.
The Frecce Tricolori will celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Italian Air Force in the coming months. The pilots then performed for the last time, at the marathon, before kicking off the Anniversary celebrations.
Their presence represented a first in the history of Italian marathons. The Aerobatic Patrol filled the eyes with wonder to the many people who were lucky enough to be able to raise them to the sky to enjoy the spectacle. The event also served a charitable purpose, receiving praise from Pope Bergoglio.
Crossing the streets of Rome in the spring (whether for a race, for work or for the pleasure of being in a unique place) is even more exciting, if that is possible. The sunlight illuminates its beauty, enhancing it. Next weekend (March 26), daylight saving time returns. A custom that allows us to enjoy the light into the evening. A trip to Rome at this time of year is like a flight of the Aerobatic Patrol of the Frecce Tricolori: an incredible spectacle, for mind and heart.
