GioRun celebrates its 7th edition under the sign of solidarity

GioRun is no ordinary race: it's where sport meets charitable commitment, in a friendly atmosphere. Year after year, runners and walkers, driven as much by the desire to push their limits as by the wish to support a good cause, come together in a shared spirit of solidarity.

The race got underway after a group warm-up, cheered on by a large crowd gathered along the route. Three formats were on offer for the route through the forests and fields of Leudelange: 289 runners on the 5 km course, 428 on the 10 km course, and 98 participants in the 2 km solidarity walk, open to all.

Families were also taken care of: Villa Pipoo looked after the children for the evening, offering free childcare and dedicated activities so parents could fully enjoy the event.

This edition raised 46,000 euros for six Luxembourg-based associations, supporting their projects and helping them expand their impact on the people they serve.

Parkinson Luxembourg, founded in 1991, offers people living with Parkinson's disease seven types of adapted activities: Nordic walking, boxing, gymnastics, weight training, dancing, yoga and qi-gong.

.Alan a.s.b.l., active since 1998, supports and informs people with rare diseases in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, notably through recreational and sports activities.

L'Île aux Clowns a.s.b.l., recognized as a public utility since 2015, brings joy and comfort to patients through its professional hospital clowns, working alongside medical staff in hospitals and care facilities.

Chiens Guides d'Aveugles au Luxembourg (CGAL) funds the training of guide dogs to assist blind and visually impaired people, and runs awareness campaigns in schools and for the general public.

Fondation Autisme Luxembourg supports autistic people and their families throughout their lives, through care facilities, educational activities and personalized support.

Fondation Maison de la Porte Ouverte supports people in vulnerable situations by offering individualized support and listening services to promote their well-being and social integration.

We are proud to be a race committed to the environment. Organization, communication, refreshments, catering and equipment: every detail is designed to limit our environmental impact, reduce waste and favor short supply chains. This year again, we encouraged sponsors, associations, participants and visitors to join this approach, with waste sorting implemented across the entire site and an incentive to use public transport to get to the event.
