The Green Runs Return on October 18 and 19 on the Marsa Corniche
The 5th edition of the Green Runs is expected to attract 1500 runners from different regions of the country on October 18 and 19, taking place on the Marsa Corniche.
Event Details
This edition will feature 1 km, 5 km, and 10 km races, according to Anis Mabrouki, a member of the organizing committee. Mabrouki emphasized that this event combines a sporting dimension with organ donation awareness.
Free Health Screening
A free hypertension and diabetes screening day will be open to both participants and non-participants on October 18. Mabrouki highlighted the crucial role of sports in preserving individuals' physical and mental health, as it strengthens cardiovascular functions, improves mood, helps control weight, and prevents chronic diseases.
Organ Donation Awareness
Mabrouki also stressed the need to promote organ donation culture, noting that the Tunisian legislature has simplified procedures by allowing citizens to indicate "donor" on their national identity card.
"One donor can save up to five lives," he reminded.
