The Hospitalet Night Run raises more than 4,000 euros to improve the emotional wellbeing of the HUB staff

-
More than 3,500 runners participated in the 12th edition of the Hospitalet Night Run last Saturday, May 14. The race crossed the city with 5 km run and 10 km. In this edition, its solidarity cause was to raise funds for the creation of emotional well-being spots for the Bellvitge Hospital employees. The race bib “0” added to the one-euro donation per registration resulted in 4,008 euros. This amount will be allocated towards the creation of such spots, as part of the commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the hospital.

The run, which is yearly organised by the municipal council, is deeply rooted in Hospitalet. Its high number of runners proves that people were eagerly awaiting the race to go back to normal.

The race was supported by the Diputació de Barcelona, as well as by private sponsors such as Decathlon, Aigües de Barcelona and the Granvía 2 shopping centre.

The event also reserved a space for the youngest, with activities organised for children under the age of 14.

At the end of the race, prizes were awarded to the winners, followed by concerts and different activities such as a fideuá tasting. At the end of the race, Francesc Josep Belver, councillor for Strategic and Economic Planning, Youth and Sports of the Hospitalet City Council, handed over the cheque with more than 4,000 euros to Dr Montserrat Figuerola, manager of the ICS’s Southern Metropolitan Territorial Area, and Josep Angel Duró, Staffing Director at the HUB.

Eloi Badia (15'03") and Zoya Noumov (16'36") won the 5 km race, while Jorge Cano (31'47") and Txell Jarque (35'42") won the 10 km race.
