Participants will be provided with headsets to follow the explanation.
Maximum 30 people per group.
Mission:
The central theme of the 42nd Half Marathon Firenze — Peace — clear, powerful, and more necessary than ever given the global scenarios — becomes even more relevant because it speaks of humanity, of unity among peoples, and of rising above daily brutality to elevate ourselves morally and spiritually and seek a different path.
With the Charity Walk we embrace this message as well, drawing inspiration from a line in the Inferno by the Supreme Poet, Dante Alighieri:
“You were not made to live like brutes,
but to follow virtue and knowledge.”
A powerful invitation not to be guided by instinct, hatred, and violence, but to choose knowledge, responsibility, and coexistence.
The walk A Walk with Dante is a small symbolic gesture in this direction: walking together as an act of peace, immersed in culture and positive thought.
