Yesterday in Sarajevo was held the race Deksalgin 5k Spring Run, through which was collected more than 10,000 BAM for children with autism.
Sports Project “Deksalgin 5k Spring Run” was organized as the promotion of a healthy and active life, and as for other projects that are organized by NGO Marathon, the socially-responsible part of the project is very significant this year: thanks to a joint initiative of the NGO Marathon and organization EDUS, a major humanitarian platform was created within which was collected more than 10,000 BAM that will be given to the Association EDUS for help and support of people with autism.
The money was collected by selling kilometers through the participation of the so-called “blue runners.” These are recreational runners who dedicated their race for persons with autism. They sold their kilometers and raised funds for the association EDUS, which is engaged in helping children who struggle with the spectrum of autism, in order for them to be more included in society.
“More than 400 runners participated in the race. The winner is Osman Junuzovic from Doboj, the club ‘Doboj East’, and his time was 15 minutes and 15 seconds for 5 kilometers. In the women’s competition, the first place went to Kenyan with BH passport, Lucia Kimani.
When it comes to the women’s competition, the second and third place went to Adela Comor and Alma Hrnic from athletic club ‘Novi Grad’, and in the men competition, the second place went to Belmin Mrkanovic from AC ‘Doboj East’, and the third place went to Uros Gutic from the athletic club ‘Bosna’,” said Erol Mujanovic, director of the association “Marathon”.
