Since this year we help by running
It all began in Berlin
Can you recall the feeling you might have had at the beginning of January after having spent the whole December eating Christmas cookies and drinking eggnog? This is exactly how Babeta, the founder of Advent running, had every year. In 2014, while living in Berlin, she decided to make a New Year's resolution already in December. She went for a run every day until Christmas and shared her runs with her friends on Facebook.
Facebook group for 20 friends
It was this personal challenge that gave birth to the first edition of Advent running in 2015. This time, it was back in Prague and she did not run alone, but with a group of friends who supported each other in a Facebook group. At the beginning of Advent, they were 20, by Christmas Eve, the number increased to 250.
We run for a good cause
When the Facebook group already had more than 1,000 members, Babeta had an idea that the power of the quickly growing Advent running could be used for a good cause. More and more runners joined and they started to turn their kilometers into donations for those, to whom their life was not so kind to. Our partner companies help with this as well. For that, we want to give them our thanks! For us, this is an extra motivation to do help not just at Christmas, but throughout the whole year!
