Spendenlauf Langenwang - Mit G’spia gegen ME/CFS

Spendenlauf Langenwang - Mit G’spia gegen ME/CFS is a charity run starting at the Volkshaus in Langenwang, Austria. It takes place in September to fund research into ME/CFS. The local association G’spia, founded by Carmen Rinnhofer, is behind the event. The run emphasizes participation over speed, offering routes of 3.5 km, 5.7 km, or 10 km. Walking sticks are permitted. The participants range from children and older individuals to athletic runners and those preferring a relaxed pace. One past event saw 286 active participants supporting Carmen Rinnhofer and ME/CFS research. Local businesses provide sponsorship, and various groups, organizations, and individuals offer assistance with planning, setup, and practical matters. The organizers note the preparations and race day are marked by mutual support and camaraderie, aligning with the event's name: “G’spia” signifies feeling, care, and awareness.
