Sanctuary Runners athletes join initiative to promote 'Global Solidarity Run'

Delegates from 30 countries were among those who gathered on the wooden ring surrounding the event centre in Osaka to run 5km in the morning heat as part of the solidarity run launch.

A group of fitness enthusiasts has made the world their running track with a unique solidarity initiative launched at the World Expo in Osaka, Japan.

Now in its second year, the purpose of the Global Solidarity Run is to enable people across the world to run, jog, walk or roll on Saturday, October 11, in solidarity with those who are forcibly displaced or living in extreme poverty.
