ELLE Spain’s Beauty Director Cristina Mitre is a keen runner, so much so she wrote a book on the subject, Mujeres que corren (Women that run). Her aim, like ours here at ELLE UK, is to get more women running.
This Saturday 28 June, Mitre will be in London and she will be running, of course. ‘I intend to explore each city I travel to in the best way possible: by running,’ she told ELLE UK.
But she doesn’t want to run alone; instead she is calling on women in London to accompany her. Meeting at Speaker’s Corner, Hyde Park at 10:30am she is encouraging everyone to lace up their trainers, rally their friends and run our city with her.
Mitre is hoping to run other cities this year, but she chose London as the first leg on her running tour. She’ll be blogging the experience and socialling it with the hashtag #runandthecity.

Who’s in?
