Yes, it’s time for 15 km of challenge in the heart of the 3rd largest city in Europe 🇪🇺. That’s something! 😉 The race takes place in March. It’s the perfect season 🌸 to enjoy this open-air museum.

Around every corner, there’s a story, a monument and smiles 😁 to further warm your heart during this effort dedicated to a great cause 🫶.
Apart from the race 🏃♀️, the event offers, in line with its commitments, a free ADHD screening upon registration. And that’s really considerate ☺️. But what exactly is ADHD? Well, no, it’s not a circuit label 😂, but the name of a neurodevelopmental disorder. It is a deficit of attention with or without hyperactivity causing up to three types of symptoms that can occur alone or combined: difficulties with attention and its control, hyperactivity symptoms, and hyperkinesis causing three types of symptoms that can occur alone or combined: difficulties with attention and its control, hyperactivity symptoms, and hyperkinesis. Certainly complex words 😮, but they make sense to nearly 2.5% of adults and 5% of children affected by ADHD in European countries 🇪🇺, according to the World Federation of ADHD. A screening = answers to floating questions and steps taken for a more pleasant daily life in the future! 😊
