We are delighted to have become part of the "Running Makes You Happy" community and to participate in the "Rare Disease Run" (RDR) next year. Our primary focus is, of course, raising awareness of rare diseases and, incidentally, generating donations for our association. This brings us another step closer to our goal of attracting more independent donations.
The great thing is: everyone can participate, whether running, walking, in a wheelchair – anything is possible if you have registered.
What distances are available?
500 m, 1 km, 2.5 km, 5 km, 10 km, 15 km, half marathon and marathon. All distances can be walked or run.
The run takes place every year in the last week of February or the first week of March. During this time, you can run anytime, anywhere. The more registrations Alpha1 Germany e.V. receives, the more donations we get. This year, almost €40,000 was distributed to the participating organizations.
How much does the run cost me?
In 2023, fees ranged from €10 to €53, depending on the package (e.g., whether it included a T-shirt). You can also add a voluntary donation of up to €100 when you register. All donations go directly to the organizations.
Each participant will receive a certificate, and we will be happy to report on the winners.
You can find more information here. So register as soon as possible and compete for Alpha1 Germany!
