The Poland Business Run 2015

Six cities (Kraków, Warsaw, Poznań, Łódź, Katowice and Wrocław), over PLN 1 mln and at least nine people who could be helped – this is a short summary of the Poland Business Run 2015, the largest charity relay run in Poland. This year’s race, which took place on Sunday, September 6th, was attended by almost 15,000 people representing 1,031 companies. There were no shortage of runners from the real estate sector. The five-person relay teams ran the distance of 5 x 3.8 km.

Thanks to the run a record amount of over PLN 1 mln gross was raised, which will be used to buy artificial limbs for nine people: Piotr, Łukasz, Ania, Kacper, Marek, Marcin, Patryk, Karol and Adam – beneficiaries of the Jasiek Mela Foundation Poza Horyzonty (‘Beyond Horizons’). The foundation is soon to choose the individuals it will help next. The fastest team in the country was JZP Kancelaria Adwokacka of Katowice, covering the 19 km in 54 minutes and 56 seconds. Meanwhile, in Warsaw the gold went to Accenture Team I for a time of 1.03:34. The real estate sector was also represented on the podium, with White Star’s team coming in third with a time of 1.06:31.
