OASI Foundation announces 12th edition of the OASI Cup Run & Fun Walk

The OASI Foundation has announced the 12th edition of the OASI Cup Run & Fun Walk, taking place on Sunday, 4 October 2026, in Victoria, Gozo.

For the past 12 years, the OASI Cup Run has brought together people of all ages to promote healthy lifestyles, community participation and, most importantly, the message that recovery is possible. What started as a sporting event has grown into an annual community gathering that combines physical activity with awareness, solidarity and support for people and families affected by addiction.

This year’s event will once again offer something for everyone, including a 10KM adult run, 5KM adult run, 5KM Fun Walk and children’s races.

Families and groups of friends are encouraged to join the Family Walk and Group Walk. The Family Walk offers participation for two adults and one child under 16, with the child participating free of charge. The Group Walk allows four people to participate while paying for three.

This year, OASI is also introducing the Buddy Run, inspired by the Buddy system within the Foundation’s residential programme, where a Buddy supports and encourages a new resident through the challenges of recovery and helps them settle into the programme.

The Buddy Run brings this message of support into the community, inviting friends, family and colleagues to run together and encourage each other towards a healthier life and becoming the best version of themselves. While participants register as a pair, each runner will receive their own individual time and result. The Buddy Run is available for the 5KM and 10KM runs.
