A symbolic relay run that passed though three great monotheistic religions – the Mosque, the Synagogue and the Vatican – was held on Sunday, April 14, in Rome.
The run was held in celebration of the 40th Anniversary of VIVICITTA.
“It’s an honor for me to be invited and attended in this symbolic race to express my little voice and wave the symbolic flag of peace, it’s nice to see with my colleague to run with one purpose, to show support on what’s happening in other part of the world, it’s very sad to see,” said Filipino running enthusiast Alona Cochon.
Others who managed to reach the final destination at St. Peter’s Basilica were Andrea Abodi, the minister for sport and youth, and UISP Roma headed by Pres.Simone Menichetti Tiziano Pesce.
“Over 30,000 participants from north to south,” said Pesce. “A great sports celebration for everyone.”
