Coeliac Day Virtual Run 2024
Join us for the Coeliac Day Virtual Run, a pan-European exercise event taking place from May 13th to May 19th, 2024
By registering for this event, you're becoming a vital part of a community rallying to support the shipments of gluten-free food to those in need in Ukraine.How does the Virtual Run work?
A virtual run means you can walk, run, or cycle from any location around the world. While the exercise is physical, the participation is virtual. Whether you're in your neighborhood or on vacation, you can join in. Choose to cover a distance of 3 km or 10 km between May 13th and May 19th. Participation costs 10€, or the equivalent in your local currency.
It's easy to join
Simply register online, perform your chosen activity anywhere you like, and if you wish, share and compare your results on our race page. Though it's not primarily a competition, we welcome all who want to challenge themselves and others. It's a fantastic way to show support for Ukranian coeliacs in need and raise awareness about coeliac disease.
Let's Raise Awareness!
Coeliac disease is a lifelong autoimmune disorder that affects approximately 1.5% of the global population. The only known treatment is a strict gluten-free diet. Every May 16th, on International Coeliac Awareness Day, the Association of European Coeliac Societies (AOECS) and our national member societies organize events to educate and advocate.
Join the Movement
When you participate in the Coeliac Day Virtual Run or any related events, share your experiences! Post a photo on social media with the hashtag #together4coeliacs to help spread the word about coeliac disease. Together, we can make a difference. Let's make some noise for coeliac disease!
