The European Union – Latin America and the Caribbean (EU-LAC) Foundation, Consulates of Latin America, the Caribbean and the European Union Member States, European cultural institutes in Hamburg and the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg are inviting participants to the run “Bridge EU-LAC 2016 – For Ecuador”. This run will take place in the framework of the Latin American Autumn 2016 (Lateinamerika Herbst) and as a part of the Köhlbrandbrückenlauf 2016, a two-way run over the Köhlbrand Bridge of 12 Km, organised by Marathon Hamburg Veranstaltungs GmbH. This run was established in 2011 and represents a symbolic crossing of the bridge on the Day of German Unity.
Participants can register in one of the three time slots depending on the availability, at 9:00 AM, 12:00 PM or 03:00 PM, on the registration page http://www.koehlbrandbrueckenlauf.de/anmeldung/
The organisers join this initiative as a symbol of the links between the EU, Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). Furthermore, they wish to build visible solidarity with Ecuador, in light of the earthquakes that struck this country this year. Part of the proceeds will be donated to a social project in the country. Participants in the run will have the opportunity to win prizes offered by participating institutions; Instituto Cervantes has already announced the award of five scholarships to learn Spanish.
