Saturday runs

Every Saturday at 9 in the morning, through the streets of Barcelona, with Ukrainian flags. This is how the club started in July 2023 — and this is the part that does not change.

Who it is for

For everyone. Children of four or five run with the club, and so do people over sixty. Fitness level does not matter: the organisers adapt the route and the pace to the groups so that everyone covers their own distance — three symbolic kilometres for the company, or a proper ten-kilometre session.

What it costs

The run is free. But no club event happens without collecting donations — it is what a community abroad can realistically do for the army. The donation is voluntary and has no effect on whether you can come.

What to bring

• Any comfortable shoes you could walk in for an hour without pain
• Water — in a Barcelona summer it is already warm at nine in the morning
• Good mood and a willingness to meet someone new
• A flag, if you have one. If not, there will be flags in the group

What to expect if it is your first time

A run ends not with a finish line but with a group photo and conversations. That, rather than the kilometres, is why most people come back a second time. If you have just moved to Barcelona, this is the easiest way to find your people: the club is the channel newcomers turn to right after arriving.

Not only Barcelona

Club runs have also taken place in Lisbon, in March 2024, and in Malmö, in September of the same year. An active branch group works in Poland.
