750 participants at the GioRun 2024

Love, joy, solidarity... these were the words that resonated throughout the evening of 21 June for the 2024 edition of the GioRun. This sports and solidarity event, organised in aid of local associations Alan Maladies Rares and Parkinson Luxembourg, was once again a great success. Compared with the 2023 edition and its 550 participants, this year more than 750 people came together in a friendly and festive atmosphere. In addition to the usual 5.5 and 10 km routes, more than 70 participants took part in the 2 km solidarity walk, accessible to people with reduced mobility.

A new feature was a nursery for children aged 2 to 8, run by the Villa Pipoo crèches! Bouncy castles, arts and crafts, make-up workshops, chamboule-tout... a plethora of fun and educational games that allowed grown-ups to enjoy the race while leaving their little champions in good hands.

Sport and solidarity

The GioRun is not only a sporting event, but also a charity one. The event is organised in aid of local associations Alan Maladies Rares and Parkinson Luxembourg, with all proceeds going to them.

Once again this year, the Giofriends achieved their objective, donating 11,000 euros to each of the associations!

A new podium

For the 5^th year running, Yonas Kinde repeated the feat by closing the 10 km race in 34'20". Alongside him, he was joined on the podium by some impressive new champions!

Aurélie Wagener sprang a surprise by winning her first GioRun in 43'35". For the 5.5km, it was Giorgetti Friends Miranda João who took the podium with a time of 19'08", followed by Toni Salomon in 24'14".

The winners in each category were then presented with their trophies and awards by Paul and Marc Giorgetti.
