To promote physical well-being, social connection, and an active lifestyle through a group running activity for international and local students.
The ESN Run Club was a casual running event open to all fitness levels, organized to promote healthy habits, social interaction, and urban exploration among international and local students.
Participants gathered at Largo da Portagem and followed a relaxed running route through the city. The emphasis was on participation and enjoyment rather than performance, ensuring everyone felt included regardless of pace. Volunteers made sure slower runners were always accompanied, creating a supportive and inclusive atmosphere.
The activity successfully encouraged physical well-being and fostered new connections among attendees. Following positive feedback, the team plans to offer two route options in the future to accommodate different running levels.
