2022 Charity Race – Report

The 2022 edition of the iconic Charity Race took place last weekend at the RC Landia indoor track in Scandiano (Italy). As always, the proceeds from entry fees as well as the traditional end-of-race lottery with prizes offered by numerous sponsors will be used to purchase medical material for the paediatric ward of the nearby Reggio Emilia hospital.
