Today during the Monaco Run, the spectators gathered around the course had the chance to watch both Lord Sebastian Coe and Paula Radcliffe running the Herculis Relay.

Indeed, after the IAAF President ran his leg of 3km, he passed on the relay to the women World Record Marathon holder which ran her leg of 7km to bring home the team to the third position with a time of 38’07 over 10km.

Started in 2011, Monaco Run is a road race event taking place in Monaco where the runners could test themselves within an official 10km, a Classic along the French Riviera starting in Ventimiglia to finish in Monaco, and a relay of 3+7km which was this year sponsored by the prestigious meeting of the Diamond League, Herculis Monaco (which will be held on July 21^st in 2017).

Ce matin lors du Monaco Run, les spectateurs se sont rassemblÃ©s autour du port de Monaco pour avoir la chance de regarder Paula Radcliffe and Lord Sebastian Coe “passer le tÃ©moin” au Herculis Relay.
En effet, aprÃ¨s que le prÃ©sident de l’IAAF ait couru les 3 premiers kilomÃ¨tres, il passa le relais Ã l’actuelle dÃ©tentrice du record du Monde du Marathon Paula Radcliffe qui a parcourus les 7 autres kilomÃ¨tres. Pour l’anecdote, ils terminent 3Ã¨me de cette course en bouclant les 10km en 38’07.

CrÃ©Ã© en 2011, le Monaco Run est une course sur route qui a lieu tous les ans Ã Monaco et permet aux coureurs de participer Ã un 10km officiel, Ã une Classic le long des Riviera entre Vintimille et Monaco ou Ã un relais de 3+7km qui fÃ»t cette annÃ©e sponsorisÃ© par le prestigieux meeting de la Diamond League, Herculis Monaco.
