Prato, over 200 participants in the "Are you there at 6?"

Prato, June 13, 2025 - Over 200 people took part in the morning appointment of “ Are you up at 6? ”, the dawn jog for sleepless runners and walkers. The event, now in its eighth edition, was born from the idea of ​​the Aquile Mattiniere running group of the CAI of Prato , who organized the initiative together with the Uisp of Prato, with the patronage of the sports department of the Municipality of Prato and the medical service provided by the Misericordia di Prato Salesians for Social Services Santa Rita Foundation. Many runners and walkers at the start, also accompanied by several four-legged friends. After meeting at the Oratory Sant'Anna before 6 and the start given by the cowbell, the participants chose to take the 7 km or 4 km route, heading towards the cycle path and then climbing onto the giolica. Next, here is the passage from the Macine in via Firenze and from the Petrino bridge, and finally the return through piazza Mercatale to the oratory of Sant'Anna.

"It was a lot of fun. There are many who wake up early, those who go to bed late, those who never find the time to exercise, those who should do it and don't find the desire and those who have to take the dog out - explains Roberto Signorini of Aquile Mattiniere - It was an opportunity for everyone to take a nice walk with a rich croissant party at the end of the Fiaschi pastry shop and a souvenir for everyone. The proceeds will go to Aisla (Italian Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Association, ed.). This was our first appointment then on Monday 1st September there will be From Sponda to Sponda a walk-run for after the summer holidays to get together. Among other things, on Thursdays we will have a registration evening with a walk through the streets of the center of Prato to discover unique and never-before-seen places. The world of walkers, those we call 'runners without a bib' is varied and we are dedicated to them with their families and four-legged friends".
