1st EBJIS Charity Run

Join us for a unique opportunity to run a 5 km non-competitive Run around the beautiful city centre of Bologna.
It will be an opportunity for an alternative sightseeing tour around the Medieval City and to spend time together more informally.
All proceeds from the event will be directed towards “Stop TB Onlus” (https://stoptb.it).
Stop TB Italia is a non-profit organisation working to fight tuberculosis through prevention, education, and international collaboration.
The run will take place Friday morning with the starting point from the congress centre.
Sign-up for the run will be possible through the online registration.
The Charity Run is kindly supported by Activa.
