Wilfrid Palcy will run for the Brugmann Foundation!

In 2016, after completing 52 semi marathons in 52 weeks across 5 continents and meeting hundreds of people, Wilfrid Palcy witnessed the impact that running has not only as a powerful way to experience a country’s culture but also as an opportunity to enhance tolerance and promote cross cultural understanding by becoming truly connected to a community. With the creation of the European Capitals of Culture, many countries have defined their culture with music, sport, food, or religion. Project Running1000+ seeks to highlight these unique cultural elements that create beautiful experiences across Europe.

Running1000+ is a unique and larger concept that will involve groups of runners from different cities. The goal is to run 60 half marathons in 120 days across 60 cities (designated European Capitals of Culture), for a combined total of 1260km. That’s one half-marathon every second day!

During Running1000+, Wilfrid will bring together groups of people from each city to compete in a 21km race.
