The first race of the year usually comes with emotion and excitement. This year it arrived at a sprint—wedged between tasks, exhaustion, and a 15‑minute nap that felt like a fight I’d already lost. Gerar isn’t just a competition; it’s a team exercise in acceptance and moving forward together, even when one of us is the weak link. A story about running, people, different rhythms, and the meaning that stays beyond the kilometers and the results.
Gerar isn’t about the weather—it’s about people. About teams that stay together, negotiated paces, stories told on the run, and a “we run as one” that’s actually respected. If you haven’t run Gerar, chances are you won’t quite get it. But if you’ve been once, you already know why you come back.
For New Year’s, I ran away to Monopoli—not to chase performance, but to sleep, to eat, to run with no goal, and to get my head straight. With the sea, with quiet, with slow runs and the simple joy of being present. Sometimes it’s not about kilometers or plans. It’s about knowing when to leave. And where.
It wasn’t a year about records—it was about people, roads, and meaning. About races that broke me and put me back together, about community, family, friends, and moments that mattered more than any finish time. A full, heavy, good year, in which running wasn’t a battle with limits, but my way of living my life, with everything in it at its most intense.
