According to Fibra Fisio’s partners, Daiane Paza and Leonardo Hang, the race realization is an old idea, thought before the Physiotherapy Center opening. “I always will to do a race proof with the clinic opening, but due to the pandemic, we don’t have this chance.

The idea is to make event bigger every year”, emphasizes Daiane.

We are going to put bands and DJs along the way, a very nice start ceremony and other surprises, always thinking in each athlete. How is it going to be a small proof in number of runners, we going to try to make it the most personal is possible, in order to each athlete have a very nice and challenger experience.
The proof had limited registration of 300 runners. It happens because the classification of risk that Brusque was inserted. Each athlete will receive a proof kit and participation medal. “Will be a safety and controlled event, we make a proof with several distances to allow all that run, the opportunity to participate. The race will be a present for Brusque, and for the person that want to participate. As a reference clinic in sport rehabilitation and physiotherapy is a way that promote the physical and mental health and social well-being”, emphasizes Daiane Paza.
