Run for the Middle East

Welcome to "Run for the Middle East"

• Tuesday 19th November
• 3k Mass start 18:00 (one lap around Sognsvann)
• Starting point: Sognsvann beach, see picture below (100m from the parking)

This is a charity run organised by Celsia employees to support the civilians in Lebanon and Palestine that are in the need of food, infrastructure and vital equipement due to the conflict currently happening.

We invite our local community to join and support this cause through their subscription fee to access the race. Whereas you are a running enthusiast or sunday jogger, join us to run a loop around Songsvann and mingle with the participants after the run.

The run starts at 18.00 and the event will last until 20.00. While the path is lit, we encourage the participants to take a headlamp with them.

Not only we are deeply affected by the civilian situation in Lebanon, we do have 5 colleagues and friend that have seen life, families and friends changed by the conflict. That is what drives us to help them, organising that charity run. All the money generated by this event will be direct to Røde Kors (Norwegian Red Cross).
