After the race, participants will be offered a cup of hot chocolate to help them regain their strength.
Over 1,300 people have signed up to take part in the UAB Solidarity Race, in support of La Marató de 3Cat on Sunday 15 December starting at 10:30 a.m., with the start and finish line at the Vila Universitària. The campus once again will become a sportive and festive area during this 13th edition.
As in previous years, there will be four modalities of the race: two races of 11.6 km and 6 km, a 6 km walk and another reduced mobility walk of 480 metres. The routes will also be the same as every year.
The start of each race will be from the Vila Universitària: at 10:30 a.m. for participants with reduced mobility; at 11 a.m. for the 11.6 km race, and at 11:20 a.m. for the 6 km run and walk.
The campus expects the event to include the participation of federated runners, amateur athletes, families, staff members, lecturers and university students who, with their participation, contribute to a solidarity cause such as the one proposed each year by La Marató de 3Cat. All proceeds from participants will be donated to the La Marató de 3Cat Foundation.
After the race, participants will be offered a cup of hot chocolate to help them regain their strength.
Another way of participating is volunteering
The organisation announces a call for the participation of volunteers for the logistical and organisational tasks that are needed for an event like this, coordinated by the UAB's Solidarity Foundation (FAS). Each year a large group of people volunteer as a way of pitching in to help with the solidarity race and give their support to the La Marató de 3Cat.
In the past edition, more than a thousand people and fifty volunteers participated, and a total of 26,583.39 euros was raised, which was donated to the La Marató de 3Cat Foundation to fund research projects related to sexual and reproductive health, the theme chosen last year by the foundation.
We look forward to seeing you on Sunday!
