Doing good with every kilometre

From 26 to 28 April 2024, the Lions Charity Run took place - a worldwide charity run that encourages people to run or walk five kilometres for charity.

This initiative, organised by the Lions Club Austria, brings together participants from all over the world to do good together. In 2023, the Lions community raised over 40,000 euros to support children with diabetes and regional aid projects. This year's proceeds from the charity run will be used specifically for Lions Schüler:innenhilfe, which is committed to promoting exercise and healthy eating among children and young people, as well as for other social projects in Austria.

Running or walking? Your run, your decision!

Between 26 and 28 April 2024, participants could choose when and where to complete their five kilometres. The starting line could literally be their front door. Participation was possible for both runners and Nordic walkers. The times were recorded by the participants themselves and then entered on RaceResult, where they could compete with other participants from all over the world.

Proceeds go to Lions student aid

The proceeds from the entry fees and generous donations from sponsors go directly to Lions Schüler:innenhilfe. This project focuses on supporting children and young people in Austria by integrating exercise into their everyday lives and educating schools about healthy eating.

Raiffeisenlandesbank Oberösterreich is a proud partner of the Lions Charity Run. Michaela Keplinger-Mitterlehner, Deputy General Manager of RLB Oberösterreich, emphasises the importance of this commitment: "Raiffeisenlandesbank Oberösterreich is aware of its social responsibility and is therefore very happy to support the Lions Charity Run 2024. This year, the proceeds from this event will go to a project dedicated to healthy nutrition and exercise for schoolchildren. We are delighted to be part of this commitment as a sponsor."
