On the night between Saturday 15 September and Sunday 16 September, some three thousands runners took to Rome’s streets at 12:30am to participate in an annual nightime run called CorriRoma and organized by the Rome Marathon club. The 11 kilometer course took participants around some of Rome’s most celebrated ancient monuments, including the Colosseum, as seen above.
A Moraccan runner named Laalami Cerqauoi was the first of the men to complete the course, crossing the finish line in 33 minutes and 22 seconds, while Barbara La Barbara from Palermo finished as the first woman in 39 minutes and 30 seconds.
