The SQY to Versailles Park Marathon
Liberation Marathon # 48
Date: September 18, 2020
My Time: 5:35:19
By Dr. Barefoot Sidy Diallo
I ran my 48th Liberation Marathon from Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines (SQY) to the Palace of Versailles Park with the goal to raise awareness of the need to run marathons to fight the Covid-19, future pandemics and global warming.
Sadly, while we experienced a very strong heat wave this year, the water levels of Lake Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines dropped enormously, our streams have dried up and farmers are likely to lose their crops, I saw on the course that people keep cutting trees and therefore releasing more carbon dioxide into the athmosphere.
My book Running Barefoot for Human Survival is available on Amazon in paperback and e-book format (French edition: Courir pieds nus pour sauver les humains).
