let the run come out of you.”

The Cinque Mulini (5 Mills) Cross Country race was run this past weekend. When I started running many years ago this was still a race many top stars ran with past winners being: Billy Mills (65' - seems like an appropriate winner with his last name), Kip Keino (69'), Frank Shorter (73'), Paul Tergat (96' & 98) and Kenenisa Bekele (02') to name a few. Does not seem to be the same draw anymore, still good runners but not as many of the big names . See the video below because this race is different in that it even runs through buildings.
