“Corri Cavour” the first relay race along the 85 kilometers of the Canal!

The "Corri Cavour", the first non-competitive relay race along the entire route of the Cavour Canal. The race was organized by the Compagnia delle Acque Correnti, born in East Sesia among colleagues who are passionate about running, and by Coutenza Canali Cavour as part of the reclamation and irrigation week organized by ANBI (National Reclamation and Irrigation Association).

The "Corri Cavour" is also part of the activities set in motion by the Est and Ovest Sesia for the celebrations of the 150th anniversary of the inauguration of the Cavour Canal. Starting from Chivasso at 8.30 am eighteen runners, eighteen colleagues from Est and Ovest Sesia, passed the baton on the towpaths of the canal crossing bridges-canals, rivers, roads and railways until arriving after 85 kilometers in the Ticino Park at 4 pm: 30.

It was a race and a party, eight hours during which we saw lots of smiles and cheers of encouragement for the riders, always supported by a small caravan of cars led by colleagues who managed the organization and logistics.
