Run for a good cause at Christmas

For most people, Christmas is a time for reflection, unity and childhood memories of gifts and good food. A holiday where you have a little extra time to be together and celebrate.

But not everyone is looking forward to Christmas. Not everyone has a family to celebrate with, or who can look forward to pleasant evenings with people they love. For many, Christmas can be a painful reminder of loneliness.

Now we want to arrange a space Christmas race which in addition to being a part of the goal of getting people active will also contribute to a hot meal for those who need it most.

One of the Oslo Marathon's goals is to be a driving force for physical activity, and to make it easy for everyone to feel the mastery it gives to reach their goals. With Romjulsløpet, we want to combine this with giving back to those who need it at Christmas, and we are very happy to contribute to the Church's City Mission's Christmas campaign; Rejoice someone who dreads Christmas!

There are many people around Norway who are not looking forward to Christmas, and we want to help make some people a little less afraid. We hope the whole of Norway will take part in the Christmas run, and help us to provide many hot meals to those who need a little extra care during the Christmas holidays.

For each registered participant, it will mean 40 kroner to the Church's City Mission, which provides a hot meal and a pleasant experience for someone who needs it more. Here you get the opportunity to join a virtual race and experience unity and mastery, while helping someone who is not as well off as us.

Sign up for the Romjulsløpet and run at the same time for the Church's City Mission's Christmas campaign; Rejoice someone who dreads Christmas!

Run for Charity in the Christmas Holidays!

For most people Christmas is a time filled with happiness and childhood memories reminding you of joyful family gatherings around the dinner table. It is a holiday where most of us enjoy some extra time together with our families.

But not everyone is looking forward to Christmas. Not everyone has a family to celebrate with, or can look forward to joyful evenings with the people they love. For many Christmas can be a painful reminder of loneliness and the people they have lost.

We want to arrange a Christmas Race which in addition to being a part of our goal to activate our runners also will contribute to some joy for those dreading Christmas, giving a hot meal to those who need it the most.

One of Oslo Marathon's goals is to motivate people to physical activity and give everyone a chance to feel the sense of achievement you get when reaching your goals. With Romjulsløpet, we want to combine this with giving back to people in need. We are very happy to contribute to Kirkens Bymisjons Christmas Charity giving joy to those who are anxious about the Christmas time.

For every person signing up to Romjulsløpet we give 40 NOK to Kirkens Bymisjons and their charity work helping people in need. This means that each entry provides one hot meal to someone who needs it, and hopefully gives them some joy for Christmas.

There are many people in Norway and around the world who are not looking forward to Christmas, and we want to help make them a little less anxious. We hope all of Norway and the world will take part in Romjulsløpet and help us spread some joy.

Sign up for the Romjulsløpet and provide a hot meal so someone who needs it.
