More than 1,000 participants for this 6th edition.

On June 20, the Giofriends organized the 6th edition of the GioRun, where more than 1,000 participants and 80 volunteers came together with energy and generosity, turning the Félix Giorgetti Logistics Center into a place of solidarity and celebration around a worthy cause.

The GioRun is both a sporting and charitable event, defined by sharing, generosity, and good cheer. Each year, motivated and passionate runners and walkers come together in a spirit of solidarity, providing tangible support to the initiatives of charitable associations.

After a collective warm-up, and cheered on by the applause and encouragement of numerous supporters filling the air with excitement, participants set off through the forests and fields of Leudelange: 350 runners on the 5.5 km course, 500 on the 10 km, and nearly 100 people for our 2 km solidarity walk, open to everyone.

Throughout the evening, parents and children were able to enjoy free childcare and entertainment provided by Villa Pipoo.
