Successful participation in the V Race Against Cancer in the Forum

The solidarity event, which has the support of B: SM, has raised € 80,000 to promote cancer research and improve the lives of people suffering from it.

With the motto "We win this race together", 3,200 participants enjoyed a day of sports, running or walking, at the Parc del Fòrum facilities. This is the highest participation success of the race, which after a year of downtime due to the pandemic was able to be present again and with all the measures and security guarantees, as the previous edition only was held only in online format. The organizing body, the Association Against Cancer in Barcelona, ​​will allocate € 80,000 of funds raised to improve the lives of people with cancer and their families, as well as to promote cancer research.

The race had three distances to suit all audiences: 10 K, 5 K and 2.5 K. A circuit adapted for all levels, popular and ready to run as a family. Attendees were able to enjoy a Zumba Master Class and the little ones became scientists for a day with the science workshops organized by the association where they performed DNA extractions and nanoparticle constructions.

This is another of the sporting and solidarity events that are held annually in the Forum Park, such as the Correblau Race for students with autism or the Uunirun University Race, and which have the support of B: SM.
