Friday Running Crew hosts festive 5km and 10km event in aid of Puttinu Cares

The historic city of Birgu will provide the backdrop for a heart‑warming community initiative this Christmas Eve, as the Friday Running Crew hosts a special Charity Run in aid of Puttinu Cares. The event invites runners of all ages and abilities to come together in a spirit of unity, generosity, and festive goodwill.

Participants may choose between 5km and 10km routes, both designed to showcase Birgu’s charming streets and scenic waterfront. The run is non‑competitive and community‑focused, encouraging everyone from beginners to seasoned athletes to enjoy the experience while supporting a cause that continues to make a profound impact on Maltese families.

Runners will gather at 8:00am at Café Riche Birgu before setting off together. The Friday Running Crew, known for its welcoming weekly meet‑ups, emphasises inclusivity and fun, values that lie at the heart of this Christmas Eve event.

Organisers highlighted the deeper meaning behind the initiative, noting that Christmas Eve represents unity and generosity. “This run is a chance to move with purpose and support the invaluable work carried out by Puttinu Cares,” they said.

The public is encouraged to participate, donate, and help spread the message, ensuring the event reaches as many people as possible and maximises support for this cherished cause.
