This Sunday, you have a great opportunity to help those in need, and have some fun while doing it! The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations is putting on their 8th annual Hunger Run to raise funds and awareness to eradicate world hunger.
The course will take you past many of
Roma’s best sites, including the Terme
di Caracalla (the spectacular baths of Emperor Caracalla), Teatro Marcello, the Via dei Fori Imperiali, il Colosseo, Via di San Gregorio,
Piramide, Aventino (Aventine Hill), Circo Massimo, and Stadio Nando Martellini.

You can register on Saturday, 19th of October,
from 10:00am-6:00pm, or on the day of the event until 9:30am. The best part is
it’s only 10 euros, and the proceeds go help end world hunger around the world.
The event takes place this Sunday, 20th of
October, starting at Viale delle Caracalla, and opening at 8:30am. The starting
gun will be fired at 10am. Traffic is closed on all streets that the event
takes place on, so go to walk, run, race, or even just watch! For another
interesting way to see these monuments, check us out at TramTracks! You will be
singing, dancing, and dining along a very similar route.
After the run, unwind at Circolo degli Artisti’s Vintage
Market! Festivities start at 5:00pm until late in the evening. This event has
been running since 2008, and has always included a wide array of artisanal,
vintage, handmade, and rare finds from over 80 vendors. There will also be a
happy hour, at 7:00pm, an area for aperitivo, and a great set of live Roman
DJ’s. The TramTracks bassist, Maurizio, is a vendor there, and sells some
incredible jewelry. Circolo degli Artisti is on 42 Via Casilina Vecchia, in San
Giovanni.
