On Saturday 7th December an army of pink stormed the beach in Barcelona during the very first Sip and Stride (SAS) fundraising event for Against Breast Cancer.
Sip and Stride started as a small running club formed in September 2024. The intention of the club was to connect student runners to run and socialise. Sip and Stride has grown significantly in Barcelona attracting new runners weekly.
The 5km event started on the morning of December 7th at Playa de Bogatel and saw 60 runners running the route along Barcelona beach to finish at the Black Lab Brewery, for some much-needed refreshment.
“An incredibly rewarding experience”
Lara, Bronwyn, and Grace, who organised the Sip and Stride fundraising event, raised over £1,000 from fundraising and ticket sales, making the event a fantastic success and an enjoyable day for all involved.
“Organising a fundraiser event for ABC has been an incredibly rewarding experience. ABC is an amazing charity who could not have done more to support us throughout the process. We founded SAS Run Club to create a fun environment where people could meet other student runners and never expected it to grow as quickly as it has and be able to put on such a wonderful event.
“Although we have never organised something like this before, it turned out to be a great success and it felt very special that we could bring together so many people to contribute to such an important cause. Special thanks to Amber and Richard for all their hard work in turning our idea into a reality!” – Lara, Bronwyn & Grace
