Description
The "Corri x Padova" is a collective running and walking activity which takes place from November to June, every Thursday, in different parts of the city. There are pre-defined routes along the streets, through the squares and parks and along the river banks in the city, with the guidance of athletes who act as "pacemakers" for the participants. The "pacemakers" set the different paces, so that every runner / walker can find his/her right pace and gradually improve. Distances vary from 6 to 10 km for running and 3 to 5 km for walking - Nordic walking.
