participants
The goal of the activity was to motivate as many people as possible during the lockdown to go out, make some sports and reach together the amount of 531 km. The motivation was that ESN Bonn donate 40 Cents for every achieved kilometer to the social organisation Save the Children to support less priveleged people in third world countries. The combination of an individual sporting activity during the lockdown and the fundraising for a charitable cause was the basis to connect the participants via social media. So the main target was to motivate international students and ESN Team members for a running activity and at the same time do something good for people in developing countries.
You could do the event where you want and when you want during the weekend befor Christams (18.12.-20.12.). That´s why we invited all the west sections of ESN Germany to participate.
Dear friends,
how did you gain strength this year?
Our ESN-Bonn-Team has found a common ritual in jogging to start the day with full energy! We formed a virtual running group to cheer and motivate each other from a distance.
This community got us through this strange time.
But, COVID-19 has also shown us how safe we feel at home and how grateful we are to have a home, food, and medical care even in a time like this. This is not a matter of course. Because in other parts of the world COVID-19 has intensified existing crises. Especially children suffer from the consequences of the pandemic.
Let's use what has driven us during this time to support those people to whom COVID-19 poses much greater challenges and who still continue to live every day!
Between Friday December 18th and Sunday December 20th, you can jog, hike, or walk to collect miles for our Christmas Charity Run.
! Important: You have to track your route! Either via App or Smartwatch - and send us a screenshot of your route and the kilometres !
Till 21.12 at 18 o'clock we will accept screenshots via Instagram, Facebook, mail, or Whatsapp. (Find the links below)
You can also motivate others to join in by sharing your route on Instagram or Facebook and using the #ESNBonnRUN in your story or in a post! We would be very happy if you link us and we can share your picture in our story!
For each proven kilometer ESN Bonn donates 40 cents to the organization "Save the children": https://spenden.savethechildren.de/index.php?id=218...

As a Bonn initiative with the postal code 53113, our goal is to cover at least 531 km together with you. Our maximum donation amount is 212€.
