There’s been discussion here at the eCool Compound about getting ourselves out of bed early on Sunday the 17th to run the Race for the Cure here in Rome. Now, however, Blogging Pompeii has divided our loyalties with their publication of news about the “Corri per Pompei” or Run for Pompeii that’s scheduled to take place on Saturday the 16th at 6pm.
An article about the race on Stabianews.tk says that starting line will be at Piazza Anfiteatro in the modern city of Pompeii and that the 10 kilometer and 3 kilometer routes will take runners through both the ancient archaeological site and the modern city. How much of the race takes place on the ancient site? We don’t know and we’d imagine that if it’s a lot the course could get a bit rough as even walking through ancient Pompeii can be tough on the feet, but nonetheless, we think this is one of the most eternally cool things we’ve heard about in a while.
