Atlas Healthcare sponsors the Ladies Running Club

Atlas Healthcare has announced that it will be supporting the Ladies Running Club during 2017.

To kick-start the collaboration, Health Insurance Manager Claudine Gauci met with the members of the Ladies Running Club in January to present the new Ladies Running Club calendar, which was sponsored by Atlas.

Ladies Running Club President Ms Rebecca Gatt thanked Ms Gauci and Atlas Healthcare for its support, which, besides the calendar publication, will involve various initiatives throughout the year.

‘Atlas Healthcare, as part of the Atlas Group, holds a firm belief in healthy lifestyle choices, and through collaboration with likeminded organisations like the Ladies Running Club, wefulfils our major CSR objective to promote exercise and wellness’ Ms Gauci explained.

The Ladies Running Club was set up in 1988 by a group of woman who decided it was time for women to join a sport which was completely dominated by men in Malta. In fact, the only events open to women were 5k fun runs and All Comers events taking place.

The LRC has gone from strength to strength with members taking part every year in the Malta Marathon and Half Marathon, road and track races organised by the Malta Amateur Athletics Association and other local races, as well as growing participation in events overseas.

The motto and mission of the Ladies Running Club is Run for Fun. The club established its own club race LRC 6 Miles in 1990, which was open for everyone. It is now known as the LRC 10k, and is held annually in October.
