The 7th #ZeroHungerRun 2024 in Bonn – Review
What an incredible #ZeroHungerRun! We are absolutely overwhelmed by this brilliant running festival and say “thank you” to more than 3,500 committed people who ran with us on September 22 for the Caribbean region and for #ZeroHunger. And “thank you” for the incredible donation of over €50,000 that was raised for our project work! So we - no, you! - have topped all previous results at the 7th #ZeroHungerRun.
A quarter of this will go directly to the project that you yourselves have previously chosen here: it will go towards a project in the so-called Caribbean Biological Corridor, where, among other things, one million trees will be planted. We are delighted that this important climate protection project is receiving such strong support You can find more information about this project here. The remaining ¾ of your donations will be used as a free donation for general project work to fight hunger. Thank you all for your tireless commitment on behalf of the people of Haiti, Cuba and the Dominican Republic. Thank you for a successful #ZeroHungerRun!
With a great atmosphere, good music and lots of #ZeroHunger, Bonn's Lord Mayor Katja Dörner and WHH Marketing Director Susanne Fotiadis not only gave the starting signal for “One million seedlings against climate change” but also traditionally rang in the SDG days in Bonn to once again draw attention to the UN's sustainability goals and the effects of global crises and climate change on the world.
There was no shortage of sporting action either: Luisa Köhn won the women's 5km and Ghebsha Ghebrenghues the men's 5km, while Fine Dortmann and Timothy Engel won the 10km. The fastest team this year was the Tannenbusch-Gymnasium in the 5 km and the LT Ennert in the 10 km discipline in the #ZeroHungerRun history books, and the best relay team was the Climate Runners United II, who won the #ZHR title. It was also great that many schools and large teams from companies, institutions and NGOs took part again. A sign that the #ZHR family is getting bigger and bigger.
