Corsa dei Ceri di Gubbio
The Corsa dei Ceri is a famous traditional race held every May 15 in Gubbio, Umbria, in honor of its patron saint, Sant'Ubaldo. Teams of runners carry three massive wooden structures called "ceri" (each topped with a statue of a saint) through the town's steep streets in a spirited, centuries-old competition.
