Calling all sport frenzie and sporty wannabes, this is your chance to take out your running shoes and put on your sports bras for a great cause!

Following the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women taking place on November 25th, the Women’s Wellbeing and Health Program is organizing a run to stop violence against women and to raise awareness surrounding the issue.

Not only is it for a great cause, but it is also a fantastic excuse to abandon your ever tempting lesbian caves and do something active on the weekend!

You can choose between a 4 or 8 km run and the event will take place within the 16 days of activism against gender violence, ending on Human Rights Day, December 10th.

With the participating fee you will receive a t-shirt, identification number and a souvenir. It’s truly a run for everybody, as the runners who finish in 1st to 5th place will receive a trophy and the runners who finish from 6th to 50th will receive different tiers of special prizes as well.

Applying is easy: download the application, follow the instructions, fill in the form and send it to run.stop.violence@gmail.com
