ACEA #RunForWater: join the marathon!

Rome (Italy), 16/03/2025

On 16 March, join us for a special race that will cross the heart of Rome, starting from the Fori Imperiali, passing by Circus Maximus and Castel Sant’Angelo, and up to the Colosseum.

This event will celebrate water, a precious natural resource threatened by rapid population growth, economic development and climate change. FAO supports ACEA in this initiative as it amplifies its call to action for the future of food, people and the planet.
