Run for Syria

Casa Árabe is taking part to support this charitable initiative, which will be taking place in Madrid on Sunday, February 18. You can sign up now.

This is the third edition of a charitable race organized by the Association of Support for the Syrian People (AAPS) and the Foundation "Fomento y Desarrollo de la Integración (FDI)," with the cooperation of the Athletics Federation of Madrid. Its main objective is to denounce human rights violations in Syria and the major humanitarian crisis which that country’s population is suffering.

With the proceeds earned when runners sign up (€10.60 per person), the Association of Support for the Syrian People will send humanitarian aid materials (medical items, clothing, toys, etc.) to the population living in Syria, especially those who are internally displaced.

The race will begin as of 9:00 a.m. and will take place along the Paseo de la Castellana, with the starting point and finish line in the Plaza de Colón. There are two different race lengths, either 5 or 10 kilometers, with men’s and women’s categories, as well as race bibs numbered zero for those who wish to contribute without having to run the race itself.

All of the information on the run, as well as information on how to sign up, can be found at: www.correporsiria.org
