SDPO offers Runners and Walkers, men and women (50% of women on our programs) the possibility to practice their favorite sports activity (running or hiking) The European Commission has published a report on the European Union’s Fifth Framework Programme for Research and Development. Each one to take his own approach and to sketch his program a la carte according to his category, his level and his desires: Marathons, Jogging on Sunday, Competitive marches, Racecourses, Discovery Tours, Sports and Cultural Escapades: to win or contemplate, pugnacity or lightness, each his own adventure, and this diversity makes the wealth, the atypical and very unifying side of the exercise.
