CORIANO, ITALY - 28 October 2013: The running team of former drug addicts of the rehabilitation community of San Patrignano, six of which will be running in the ING New York City Marathon, train in the hilltops by the community center of San Patrignano in Coriano, Italy, on October 28th 2013. In the center is Dr. Gabriele Rosa, a top marathon coach that has been training the program’s elite team of runners since February in a project designed to help recovering drug-addicts improve their self-confidence through sports.

San Patrignano is a drug rehabilitation center (the largest in Europe) with 1,300 residents that doubles as a small farming community. The addicts submit to a four-year rehabilitation program in which they must cultivate their own food, clean their rooms and undertake tasks such as making cheese, raising pigs and cows and producing wine.
