An evening and a night with a breeze appreciated by all.
The first edition of "Currendi a lugori" in Sinnai achieved an extraordinary success with 400 members and with many people who attended the singular procession of athletes and amateurs who invaded the streets of the historic center, even arriving in the pine forest .

Before the start there was also a minute of meditation to remember Simone Longu, an athlete who died a few days in a car accident in Cagliari and who should have participated in the race.
In short, a splendid evening, for an event that we hope to be able to repeat over time not only for the sporting impact it had, but also for the social aspect with the involvement of children, young people, the elderly.
