Then the city’s party started from De André towards Via di Roma, where all the Sunday distances finished: the Martini Good Morning Ravenna 10K with 8,541 registered participants. Until early afternoon there was a long celebration with arrivals on Via di Roma that continued to animate a city invaded by runners and their companions.
