Crazy Barefoot Marathon - Rotterdam By Christian Pinon
Samedi dernier a eu lieu le Crazy Barefoot Marathon à Rotterdam. Avec 12 personnes au départ et quelques accompagnateurs, l'ambiance était très amicale. Nous avons couru 42,73 km en 5h11' sur un beau parcours. Les routes et sentiers en sont très bien entretenus aux Pays-Bas.
La photo ci-joint vous donne un aperçu de l'ambiance.
J'étais le seul étranger présent.
