Afragola is a small town outside Naples. It's 10km Race has become incredibly popular because it's organised so well. Over 2,000 people took part in it this year.
Runners do 2 laps around the city. They are cheered by everyone. There is water every 2km, as it is very hot indeed.
The first 250 runners get prizes, as well as age groups over 55.
The whole city back the event, people, the mayor, the police (there was a helicopter too!).
Generous refreshments after the race.
Not recommended if you don't like crowds.
Great as a social event to meet your running buddies.
4.5 stars out of 5.
