Not only will the event conduct a race but will include a writing contest for high school students from two local schools in Florence on the theme of ending violence against women. These students will also have a 1.9 km (1.2 mi) side race dedicated solely to them. Three scholarships will be awarded for the 2018/2019 school year, given to the two students who write the best essays and one to the first place finisher of the 1.9 km (1.2 mi) race.
“Rosamimosa” is open to women of all ages and registration is 8 euro for the run and 5 euro for the walk; call 347.8899221 for information or send an email to info@gsletorrifirenze.it. (olivia pugsley)
