Desenzano Hosts 6th Annual Aerobics Marathon for Charity
DESENZANO – In the new millennium, the world’s leading aerobics event arrives in the city of Desenzano. Organized by the Federazione italiana Fitness, the aerobics marathon has reached its 6th edition and will take place simultaneously in 50 major Italian cities on Sunday, February 20th from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
The location has been set in Desenzano. All proceeds from participant donations will be donated to charitable organizations with noble social purposes.
Charity and organizational motivations
“This year, the event organized by the Federazione italiana di Fitness will benefit the Telefono Azzurro committee, the volunteer organization that promotes children’s rights,” says Professor Valter Stacco, marathon organizer and regional delegate of the Federazione Fitness.
The choice of Desenzano was made based on its strategic position, easily accessible from multiple provinces, as well as the facilities provided by the Comune.
The sponsorship of the Assessorato allo sport was essential to organize an event that involves the provinces of Brescia, Verona, Cremona, Mantova, Bergamo, and Trento. Among the presenters, those guiding the enthusiasts for the 6 non-stop hours will be some of the top international aerobics specialists.
Notable participants and the history of aerobics
Among these are Marcelo Santos and Adriano Souza, performers of the best Brazilian aerobics, and Laura Carli, a renowned choreographer featured on Rai and Mediaset television shows.
Aerobics is a sport that originated 30 years ago in NASA laboratories, where there was a need to create a physical activity with a high organic component and psychological motivation, intended to be taught to astronauts. Today, aerobics is a reality involving millions of practitioners worldwide and is considered one of the best methods to achieve the psychophysical well-being everyone desires.
Impact on the city and final thoughts
“Certainly,” confirms Professor Valter Stacco, “Desenzano will provide a great show for all enthusiasts and amateurs of the world’s most practiced fitness discipline. The aerobics marathon is an opportunity for everyone to see, learn about, and try a motor activity where engagement is total. Besides physical exercise, it also offers the healthy fun that only music and dance can provide.”
This is the only charity event that involves the diverse world of gyms and offers a great opportunity for all those passionate about well-being and sports activity to compete alongside top champions present in Desenzano and, at the same time, support an important organization that helps children.
The event will take place at the gym of Liceo Bagatta on February 20th, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
