Chianti Classico Marathon at Castelnuovo Beradenga, (15 km from Siena), witch is included in the Italian list of “Slow Cities and centre of the Cities of the Wine”.
“And event like Ecomaratona-said the deputy mayor of Castelnuovo Berardenga, Fabrizio Nepi- had been supported by our government from the beginning, because it combines perfectly the value of sport with the regard of the territory.
The wineries tour only reinforces further this bond, also allowing a tourist revival in a month, that of October, when the main flow of tourist has gone. It can be a source of revenue for the companies of our district in a time when there is more need than ever. Without omitting that it gives to italian and foreign tourists the chance of exploring a territory which is unique all over the world.”
For the whole day of Saturday and Sunday the Mercantale is organized, near the starting and finish area and in the main streets of the country, with typical products of the territory, like Chianti wine, the olive oil, Tuscan salami, and pecorino cheese of Crete senesi.
After the race have a shower and have lunch at our free pasta party for all the athlets, and then come to the square of arrival and pick up your category prize; thanks to the chip and the TDS support you can have the real-time classification.
You can well out of the expo, where you have the chance to be led by the legendary/great Gelindo Bordin, about the latest Diadora shoes.
