About the event


Despite our best efforts, and with the support of the City of Barcelona, we have unfortunately been unable to secure the necessary permissions required to hold the event safely and responsibly.

We sincerely apologise for any disappointment or inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

Full refunds have now been issued to all who signed up, and we are planning to share running route recommendations with those of you who would still like to take the Active Option whilst at the ERS Congress.

If you are joining us in Barcelona, you can still enjoy doing something good for your health. Take a walk or go for a run and explore the city’s picturesque routes.

Capture a photo of yourself during your activity and share it on social media, tagging #HealthyLungs4Life , @ELF and @ERS.

You can also pick up a Healthy Lungs for Life branded T-shirt or buff at the ELF stand at the Congress to wear during your activity.

Get active, explore Barcelona and support Healthy Lungs for Life!
