It was a great day of sport that took place on Sunday 27 November in Marsciano thanks to the third edition of the 'La corsa delle Fornaci' foot race; M+Performance could not miss such an important event in our area.
Over 300 athletes took part in the Corsa delle Fornaci
Great participation in the third edition of the running race promoted by the Pro-loco of Tripoli together with the Fornaci Briziarelli Marsciano, with the collaboration of many Marsciano associations; the result of this organizational effort was a great day of sport with over 300 runners who, after starting in front of the Concordia Theater, ran along the streets of the center of Marsciano, then going into the countryside, touching the Fornaci Briziarelli of Marsciano and then going up at the Marsciano Sports Hall where the finish line was located.
A double route with the competitive 11km race and the non-competitive 5km, a day kissed by a warm autumn sun.
Triumph of Simon Kibet Loitanyang and Silvia Tamburi over the distance of 11.5km
Success went to Simon Kibet Loitanyang and Silvia Tamburi over the distance of 11.5km; the Kenyan crossed the finish line after 35'39" leaving Marco Melchiorri (36'14") and Alessio Malfagia (37'23") behind.
Silvia Tamburi of Atletica Avis Perugia instead finished in 42'06" ahead of Ana Nanu (45'46") and Irene Virginia Quinonez (45'49").
M+Performance had a stand at the finish line and it was an opportunity to let the 300 athletes who participated in this day taste our product; many were amazed to learn that there is a product for athletes that comes from Umbrian olive trees, a product rich in polyphenols for sport.
It was a great day for us and we can't wait to run together in the fourth edition of the Corsa delle Fornaci di Marsciano
In Italy there are over 7 million runners
Running is a complete sport that can help improve physical and mental health. It is a low impact activity that can be practiced by people of all ages and fitness levels.

Running is suitable for people of all ages but as with other activities it is important to start with an adequate training plan and gradually increase the intensity and duration of the exercise to avoid injuries.
