“Adding life to the days, where all too often no more days can be added to life”, that’s the Roparun’s motto, a relay race of more than 500 kilometres from Paris and Hamburg to Rotterdam. Teams of people work together on a sporting achievement, in order to raise money for charities focussed on palliative care.
An increasing number of municipalities along the Roparun route are now organising all sorts of different events, making sure the passing through of participants is turned into a truly festive occasion. The villages and towns which have proven to be best at this are given the ‘Roparunner Town’ status and will receive a significant amount of money to spend on palliative care in their region.
For more information, see the Roparun project page.
