Jentemila is a Norwegian women’s running event that brings women of all ages and fitness levels together through physical activity and community. The event focuses on joy, inclusion and participation rather than competition. It aims to inspire women to be active and make exercise a social and positive experience. We participated with a stand for 2 days, giving information about our work, arranged a digital quiz they could participate in. And we were also running/walking in the run, either 10km or 5 km. Some of us for the first time ever participating in something like this. We were also mentioned by the hosts from the stage as the most important stand there. We were all wearing our shirts so everyone could see our message.
