* In Mende, races... with a thumbs-down
In 1969, Bob Dylan sang "Running ," a promise of the dawn of modern running. On August 7, the Beatles recorded "Come Together ," an expression that foreshadowed Spiridon's "Run with us."
But that day was a historic one. It was the first time a race had been organized there, a race that defied the established rules. Defying the regulations, they challenged the guardians of traditional athletics. In Mende, in the Lozère region, a road race brought together cadets, juniors, seniors, veterans, unlicensed runners, and even women. The winner was the pioneer Jean-Claude Moulin. Four years later, he created Marvejols-Mende, the Cinderella story of off-track running.
If you're unsure between two sizes, choose the larger one; it's safer.
