In the spirit of this good mood and charity, a team of volunteers organized the St. Patrick’s Day Fun Run at the HDF Pápa Air Base on the last Friday of March. The approximately 60 participants of the afternoon programme covered the two-kilometer distance running or walking, most of them wearing funny green clothes in honor of the feast day. Prizes were given to the fastest runner, the best costume and the nation represented in the largest numbers. The event was also an occasion to collect donations, and the fund raised will go to an institute for helping disadvantaged young people in Pápa.
The organizers and the participants were all very satisfied with the event. The large turnout, the donations made and the good mood are proof of the exemplary cooperation – at work, in charity or while having fun – among people of different cultures and nationalities on the HDF Pápa Air Base.
