Movement for changes and ... Running places


The Craiova Semi-marathon, which will take place on September 29, is this month’s event in Craiova in terms of sport. On its second edition, its purpose is to make people move for noble causes.

See the event page - Craiova Semi-marathon

Things are simple: you register at one of the nine races, and when paying registration fees you choose where your money goes. From the individual semi-marathon or the relay race, to the wheelchair race, the children’s one or the one with puppies, the participants have where to choose from. Same thing goes for the causes. Projects regarding health, a social center, rescue dogs, projects for preventing illiteracy, for equipping the sports halls, but also for cycling, for vocational development or for a camp for children with oncological conditions, the money is welcome to help each and every one of the causes.

Entries for the Semimaraton are held on the official website of the events, where the students also have a discount: https://www.semimaratonulcraiovei.ro/inscrieri/.

And if you haven’t decided yet, you can do that before the semi-marathon starts, on the 29th of September. What’s important is that everybody wins and absolutely no one loses: the participants and the ones that brought their causes into the event.

The races will start from the parking lot of the Polyvalent Hall, to the Youth Park and back.

Go running anytime!

Running or jogging are not unknown to the people of Craiova. There are two running clubs in the city, Craiova Running Club and Run4you Craiova - they are clearly featured on Facebook, so if you’re ever around and you feel like moving in an organised group, get in touch with them. Beyond running, you can easily make new friends and the effort is not that big when it’s being shared with more people.

Then, however, if you want to run alone, you have to know that there are places for you to do that: The Botanical Garden - where there is a tartan track specially built for that -, the "Romanescu" Park, the Youth Park, the "Doctor's Inn" Park, or smaller parks, which can be used for this. Such as "Mihai Bravu" Park, "Puskin" Park or "Buzesti Brothers" Park.

That being said... Run for it!
