Stadio Raul Guidobaldi is an athletics stadium located in Rieti, Italy. Every year since 1971 the stadium hosts the Rieti Meeting; it also hosted the 2013 European Athletics Junior Championships.[2]
Eight world records have been set in the stadium,[1] including the 9.74 record for the 100 metres by Asafa Powell in 2007. Steve Cram has called the stadium a Mecca for middle-distance runners.[3]
