I run for pure fun!

The Polish Anti-Doping Agency’s project titled “I run for pure fun!” is the first project in Poland based on the idea of advocating clean sport. It promotes doping-free sport, equal and fair competition, as well as charity.

The run is dedicated for amateur runners, but we cooperate with professional athletes in promote the event. We have support from sports champions, Olympic medallists and Paralympians. They promote our initiative and they do it entirely for free. At present, we have about 30 ambassadors - former and current athletes.

The first edition of the run was held in 2021. Right now, we are finalising the preparations for the third edition to be held on 15 April. Throughout that time, our initiative has been presented in nearly 2 thousand publications: on TV, in the press, on the radio, in social media and on the internet.

What is also great about the run is helping those in need. In the first edition we supported 7 young athletes with injuries in their physical rehabilitation. Last year, funding was provided to the foundation of female former handball players to more effectively fight against depression in sport. In the third edition, resources will be allocated for scholarships for talented athletes, through the foundation established by outstanding athlete Monika Pyrek. In total, we have collected nearly 130,000 PLN for charity actions.

The family of our partners is growing year after year. We cooperate with the Śląski Stadium, the largest track and field facility in Poland. The co-organizer is the Foundation "Education through Sport". Our project is also supported by top-level organisations: the Ministry of Sport and Tourism, the Polish Olympic Committee, the Polish Paralympic Committee, and the World Anti-Doping Agency. Our initiative is for athletes and about athletes, for health and for clean sport.
