For the eighth year the FIP congress will include a 5km fun run. The FIP Fun Run is an excellent event promoting a healthy lifestyle, and an alternative networking opportunity for delegates. We ask runners to register their interest in advance, as places are limited. The 10 Euro fee is a donation to the FIP Foundation, which helps the development of programmes to advance the pharmacy profession. The fun run/walk starts at 06:00 sharp and consists of a 1km loop x 5. Make sure you arrive on time.
