ITG 🇮🇸 Jan 2021 9:05pm, 10 Jan 2021 11,516 posts	Quote Pin ITG 🇮🇸 That would be great! Even when I lived in Italy it was a pita and a cash cow for private sports doctors.
Foxy Jan 2021 11:59am, 27 Jan 2021 34,215 posts	Quote Pin Foxy I did Rome in 2019 & there's no need for a medical letter or cer anymore - they have a FIDAL waiver for you to sign (FIDAL is the Italian UKA - Federation Italia D? A? L ?!!)
ITG 🇮🇸 Jan 2021 12:01pm, 27 Jan 2021 11,672 posts	Quote Pin ITG 🇮🇸 great news, Foxy! I ran Rome in 2017 (the year of The Thunderstorm) and I had to get a certificate and be a member of a club. Huge hoohaa and waste of money to be told I was absolutely fine.
Foxy Jan 2021 12:02pm, 27 Jan 2021 34,216 posts	Quote Pin Foxy now might be struggling to keep my annual US streak going so looking at Nov / Dec over there - Seattle, Las Vegas & Cocoa Beach are on my potential shopping list (I've done Seattle once & Vegas twice, I vaguely know the Cocoa Beach area having visited Melbourne last year & watched a rocket launch there in Jan, but not run it)
